In the case of input devices, the "user" should be the person
operating the computer. Different users of the same computer may have
different devices or settings. That could mean having some user daemon
that processes hardware events and sends events to the X server (and
you could then go and wire the user daemon up to D-BUS or a GUI or
something).
