Yes, I see... But the file doesn't look as I expect a shell-script should look 
(they usually start with '#!<path-to-interpreter>')..

You might see some information in the log for the window-manager if these 
commands for some reason does get executed.

Wow :) Not that it *should* matter, but you might want to clean up this file.

I also vaguely remember an earlier discussion on how to make these commands 
resident in KDE/Gnome, and these commands *might* be in some other file as 
well.. 'find . -type f | xargs grep xsetwacom' (may take time as it will go 
through all the files from where you stand...)?

Another idea that you can try; Create a new user and log in into X, if there 
are any commands that gets executed on your original account they shouldn't 
be now (remember to reset X though)

Interesting problem ;) I hope you will find the cause!
