I forgot to mention. While it's still acceptable, the merged settings are not really related to each other. Putting keyboard settings and cursor theme together just looks weird. The only thing they have in common is they're both related to user input. Having mouse settings and mouse cursor settings in the same tool seems very reasonable. >From the stand point of view of an ordinary user, if I want to change the theme of the mouse cursor, will I know it's in the config tool for input devices? If I want to change keyboard layout, will I know it's in the config tool of input devices? Of course we can name the tool (Keyboard & Mouse settings). That's what I did with lxinput in lxde, but this will be problematic if we add other input devices, such as touch pad configurations to it in the future. It might be more intuitive for a user to find the right place to change the config values if they're split into keyboard settings and mouse settings.
