GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 556875
gnome-mouse-properties left-handed setting is not set when connecting new mouse to Xorg 7.3+

I discovered this using a bluetooth mouse that 'sleeps'. Each time it's going to sleep, xorg disconnects the input device (I suppose) and, upon reconnect, the setting of left-handness is not present anymore. I suppose using a normal mouse an plugging it out and then back in would render the same results
