Hi, I'm also affected:
I had a recent update of some components of ubuntu 16.04 on my dell inspiron 1500 notebook. Before, touchpad-indicator worked perfectly and was set to permanently disable the touchpad (using a shortkey for enabling it when necessary). After the update, the touchpad was permanently enabled and I have no chance to disable it using the touchpad indicator (neither via shortkey nor via context menu nor the setting disabling at startup nor disabling while typing works).
Used version of touchpad-indicator: 1.1.0-0extras15
