I found in the end that this was a misunderstanding on my part.
I thought one just had to click on the Enable/Disable button,
but now I see that this opens a small window with a new menu,
which allows one to set a key-combination for disabling the touchpad.
After setting Ctrl-Y to disable the touchpad my problem is solved.

I don't understand how anyone can think this is a simpler way
of disabling the touchpad, but then simplicity does not appear to be
a high priority for the Plasma developers.
