Are you talking about

1. an icon in the panel;

OR

2. "Menu -> Kcontrol -> hardware -> touchpad" configuration system?

At least in my laptop (Kubuntu Dapper), I have the second one and there
I can, among other things, turn off tapping.

IIRC the icon in the panel is meant to turn on/off the touchpad
completely (if it interferes with typing in the keyboard).
