I think this would be the right time to take a step back and actually
define what that mysterious "input capplet" should be. I honestly
don't have a clue.

We have a keyboard capplet and a mouse capplet (+ touchpad,
eventually). Those do make sense. Mouse should be extended to
support multiple mice sometime. MouseTweaks fits perfectly well
into mouse, too.

What are "input device actions", though, what do the MouseTweaks
settings have in common with keybindings, and what (if anything)
do we want to do with other (generic?) devices?
