First of all I want to point out that this discussion is off-topic on this mailing list, since the KCM's for configuring input devices have nothing to do with Plasma. Please move this discussion to a more suitable list, such a kde-core-devel. Secondly, XInput provides a list of labels for the buttons on each device, and Qt should use the label to determine what a particular button does. Also, please don't write frontends for command line utilities when there is a perfectly good library available (which the command line utility also uses).
