Interesting idea! > - Where to put this logic I think it should become - an /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ script if it is DE agnostic - a GNOME/KDE/XFCE autostart desktop file (/etc/xdg/autostart) if it is DE specific > - How to best get the info that no mouse/keyboard is plugged in I don't think you should poke dmesg or udev, that's way too low level. My feeling is that the right solution is to use "xinput list". However, for this part I advise you to discuss this with our X maintainers at https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-x or on IRC (bryce, tjaalton), since they have a much better idea how X.org input works nowadays.
