So, X has achieved the holy grail of no config file by moving
all the config files to a far more obscure place and changing
them to undocumented xml gibberish?

I swear there are the makings out there of an abnormal psychology
text titled "The Mind of the Linux Developer" :-). [Good lord!
People are finding solutions to their problems by doing simple google
searches! Quick, we must change everything so all the google hits
will be out of date! BU-WA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!]

Is this the same sort of thing I'll need to do to officially
configure draglock on my trackball using evdev? Right now, I disable evdev
in the xorg.conf file and use the old input section to do it
(because I was able to discover how to do that).
