"Sensible" and "gnome" do not go together at all. The gnome developers

like a cave man who had to repeat "rock 101" 5 times before getting
a passing grade. Rather than trying to get "sensible" from gnome, give
this a try:

(of course it may not work much longer since it uses HAL to enumerate
devices, and HAL seems to be going obsolete).
