Of course we do. I added gpointing-device-settings, but it only
works for touchpads, not regular USB mice on my docking station. Also,
when I undock and redock, the mouse gets a new xinput id and loses all
settings.
I've written myself a script that I have to run any time I plug
in a mouse. I contend this is still a bug until there is a persistent
way to get these settings working across all mice.
