Mike, was this package ever in testing?  I thought that was
the original intention.

Yes, this is "xinput script not run, needs to be renamed to xinput.sh"
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=122869>
which hasn't been fixed yet. :-(

Also I just filed "xmbind script needs to be renamed to xmbind.sh"
<http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=126116>
for openmotif.

Alternatively you could of course rename "xinput" to
"xinput.sh" and likewise for xmbind.

Thanks for your mail, and yes this the right place to
discuss this kind of problem.
