the recommendation for XI2 was always to not handle slaves separately when
they're attached to a master device, because any event will feed into the
master. it's a fine line between doing what the user expects and not
breaking what we did for the last couple of years. there is no good solution
here, it's just a question which foot we prefer shooting at.

Cheers,
