In the still-current traditional X11 world (this will change with libinput,
i.e. with the Wayland transition), "Disable touchpad while typing" is not
implemented in the driver, but in a session service owned by the desktop
environment. Therefore, there can be different defaults for that particular
option in different desktop environments. Bastien Nocera was speaking for
gnome-settings-daemon in GNOME, where the option is off by default, whereas
the latest kcm_touchpad in KDE Plasma enables it by default. (Previous
versions of kcm_touchpad did not even support the option at all, it was
present in the dialog, but always grayed out because the session service was
not implemented.)
Note that this applies ONLY to that "Disable touchpad while typing" option.
The other settings (including tapping) ARE owned by the driver.
