Note that my mouse is usb (and my touchpad is not) so I detect the presence of a plugged in mouse with lsusb. I'm a lousy scripter, so refinements are welcome. Here is my version of udevmice.sh, combining the two comments above so that it both honors (un)plug events and handles the case when the mouse is already plugged in when the x-session starts up:

#!/bin/bash
#DATE=`date`
#FLOG="/tmp/udevmice.log"
#echo "$DATE - [$*] - [$ACTION]” >> “$FLOG”
#env >> “$FLOG”

if ps -C x-session-manager>/dev/null ; then
case $ACTION in
add)
synclient TouchpadOff=1
;;
remove)
synclient TouchpadOff=0
;;
*) # assume X startup
/usr/bin/syndaemon -d -i 1.0 -t
if lsusb|grep -q Mouse ; then
synclient TouchpadOff=1
else
synclient TouchpadOff=0
fi
;;
esac
