I think one way of reasoning about modules is to ask: Would it make sense
for a user to replace it with something else?
I mean: You could imagine a user - say a gamer - buying some ultra-advanced
gaming-mouse with a gazillion buttons and extra functionality. Then he/she
might want to use a special-purpose application to configure that mouse,
but still use lxqt-config-keyboard. In that case separation of config-mouse
and config-keyboard would seem ok. So I'd say yes, split in 2 :-).
I'm not sure about the cursor-theme, though. I feel it would be more
naturally placed in lxqt-config-appearance. But maybe tradition from other
desktops is to place it where one configures the mouse?
