As a ThinkPad owner I'd like to widen the question a bit.

Is it possible to disable all ways to click on a touch pad
(disabling the touch pad buttons included), without disabling
the mouse stick buttons as well?

I want to degrade the touch pad to a large virtual scrolling area
without the click-by-accident feature, for everything else I have
the mouse stick. 

I know that I can disable synaptics support,
that's not what I'm looking for.
