Not the way I set it up, but it's possible to do it. Take a look at
hotplug. There is an event every time you plug in and take out an usb
device (oncee when you insert the device, and once when you take it
out). I would think it would be possible to set in a script to do what
you want (changing X and possibly gpm).
I really can't help you there, because I've never tried it.
