Fix syndaemon never getting started

On my system, gnome-settings-daemon never starts syndaemon, regardless of the "Disable touchpad while typing" setting.

I did some investigation: the touchpad_is_present() function was returning FALSE early due to the BadDevice X error caused by trying to open the virtual core pointer / keyboard devices, and not getting up to checking real devices.

Fixed in gnome-3-0 and master
