Description Bastien Nocera 2013-03-21 19:02:44 UTC 
As the Wayland compositor will be handling input devices, input devices settings should be implemented in gnome-shell/mutter.

For example, the basics would be:
- mouse acceleration/accell threshold

Harder would be:
- touchpad tap-to-click
- natural scrolling
- disabling touchpad
- detecting the presence of particular device types (trackball, touchpad, mouse, touchscreen)

We already have code to implement those settings for X11 in gnome-settings-daemon.
It would be good to start moving the X11 code to gnome-shell/mutter so that both the X11 and the wayland codepaths are in the same place.

This has happened.
