I have unchecked all the dwell click options in gconf (configuration editor) but still auto click is enabled, teasing me. In Ubuntu 12.04, mouse setting option under 'All Settings' doesn't provide any option to cause auto click disabled. How to get out of here?

I just had this same problem, my solution was: (if you are a newbie memorize it and then do it).
- Go to a
ttyby pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 - Press your Touchpad's enable-disable key: (in my case) Fn+F7
- Switch back to X by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F7
(If your Touchpad wasn't re-enabled, press again your Touchpad enable-disable key: Fn+F7)
Before I found this I had tried everything out there but couldn't get it to work until I noticed the button (Fn+F7) used by Ubuntu to enable-disable the Touchpad was the same my laptop's hardware uses, so the issue wasn't that Linux didn't enable the Touchpad, it was that I had two systems (Linux and hardware) enabling and disabling my Touchpad for some reason, they were out of phase, when one enabled, the other disabled. (You can actually make this happen by running my solution again).
I had a problem once with my pad, sometimes it stopped working so I had to reboot to get it again. I solved it by unloading the mouse kernel module and loading it again. I don't know if it's much the same but you could try that.
