No problem... I have found similar bugs in my code... sometimes they
take a loooong time to find, because they hide :)  Fresh eyes are always
a help!

Yes, this is a good idea.  But it will take some serious thought to do
this effectively and safely :)
The user may have mounted a drive on purpose... maybe a warning with an
OK button should be good.  And an option to edit which ones are unmounted...

Maybe adding a .config/autostart/mouse.desktop with
Exec=$your_desired_synclient_stuff

I think we can come up with some things.  arandr is very easy to use and
works very well.
There may be some settings we can do with screen brightness (or gamma,
etc..)
