Fresh graphical user interface (GUI) goodness for Linux: xinput-GUI.

Xinput is a utility to configure and test X input devices, such as mouses, keyboards, and touchpads. So, here's a simple GUI for Xorg's (a traditional Linux display server) Xinput tool.

Little GUI apps like this go a long way in making things more accessible for everybody. A huge salutation to the app developer IvanFon!
