How do I make gvim ignore mouse clicks. I'm really sick of the trackpad making my cursor all over the place. I use xubuntu if that means anything.

I use:
:set mouse=c
This sets it to command-line mode. You can read about all of the options by typing,
:help mouse
To avoid needing to type the command each time, you can put it in your ~/.vimrc
As akira said, you can disable the mouse entirely, but you can also selectively disable mouse buttons by mapping them to <nop>
. For example, if it is just a problem in insert mode, and just the left mouse button:
:imap <LeftMouse> <nop>
You can even do it for double clicks:
:imap <2-LeftMouse> <nop>
See:
:help gui-mouse-mapping
:help map-overview
I had same problem and though one can disable mouse/touchpad entirely there is a better solution: to disable touchpad while typing.
For Ubuntu there is a how-to.
I am using set so=1
in my .gvimrc or .vimrc under the gui section.
The other ones are for Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V pasting, which is totally convenient in the gui.
if has('gui_running')
vmap <C-c> "+yi
vmap <C-x> "+c
vmap <C-v> c<ESC>"+p
imap <C-v> <C-r><C-o>+
set so=1
endif
