Unfortunately, just like gnome-mouse-properties, there is
nothing in this tool that will handle the button mapping or
drag lock changes I want :-(.

I wonder if I can make a generic gnome-settings-daemon
plugin that will just run user specified scripts on
dbus events? Then fancy GUI tools can come later, but
at least people could have a way to get things done
while waiting for the fancy stuff...
