Didn't upload anyway. Upon closer inspection I remembered why I was
(and again still are) reluctant to providing a (trivial) .service
file:
At least the trivial case with a static commandline as in your patch
doesn't resepct /etc/gpm.conf.
Actually your patch even hardcodes a protocol (and other settings),
which is my main reason for not having provided a .service file. Then
again it hardcodes the nowadays most common mouse protocol and device
path.
Reverted that commit for now with a commit message refering to mt
concerns and pointing to your mail.

Thanks for that effort anyways!
Will dig into how I can make a .service file respect /etc/gpm.conf
settings.
Currently thinking about using "ExecStartPre=" to call a script that
generates a file for use with "EnvironmentFile=" — if the execution
order of those two allows it. Haven't found a hint on the order in the
man pages so I'll probably just try out. Would probably use
/run/gpm/gpm.env or so for that file.
Regards, Axel
