Install 'touchfreez' from the repositories. It will serve your purpose.

fred0843,

Take a look at TouchpadToggle in the repos. It allows you to toggle the touchpad off and on.

Then there is 'synaptiks' which gives you a control module in the KDE control centre under 'Lost and found'

I think you'll like it.  It can be set to automatically switch between the touchpad and a USB mouse, as you plug and unplug it.  Which was why I installed it...
