Interesting. Is this a new thing or has the problem been there for a
while?
I can't tell from the above description.
The laptop has been running more or less continously, execpt for nightly
suspends, since I bought it in the summer of 2022, and I haven't noticed
anything strange with the touchpad before.
Also I don't have any windows to boot into. I scrubbed that when I
installed debian.

Could be. I tried disabling MATE config writing as outloned in the
above URL and logged out of the desktop and back in again.
But the touchpad still isn't working, unfortunately?
