Couple of ideas:

- the 'synclient' command line program uses the same SHMconfig interface
as qsynaptics (AFAIK) but might have more options available for
adjusting without restarting X.

- 'syndaemon' sits in the background and disables the touchpad when you
are using the keyboard and re-enables it when you stop.
