Oh, I'm not saying it's possible today, I'm saying it's where it should
be happening (it knows when a device gets plugged in, it has some
knowledge of input device configuration, so making that per-device
should be possible).  If gsd isn't suitable, it shouldn't be too hard to
write a program listening for DevicePresence events and doing whatever
config is necessary for new devices.
