Thanks for your response, Matthew.

First off, I don't have lsinput anywhere on my system, I suppose you
mean 'lshal' instead? Any idea what I should be looking for there?

And I do have hald-addon-input and gnome-settings-daemon running, but
dbus-monitor --session doesn't show anything (not even when I connect
the BT headset, which is weird and perhaps indicates something wrong
with my system?)

Ideas are appreciated.
