 What puzzles me more, if memory serves me, is that the configuration it
 chooses to use if no configuration file is supplied is different from
 the configuration file it generates if asked to do so.  There may be a
 logical reason for this, but it was quite counterintuitive for me.
 (I'd encountered this on 5.99.11/amd64, running under VMWare Fusion.)
 If I ran it without a config file, I ended up with no mouse.  If I used
 the config file it generated, the mouse worked.  (And I wasn't ever
 running wsmoused either.)
