 Yes, that's how modern Xorg behaves and the Freedesktop people (Xorg upstream)
 don't consider it a bug.
 
 Instead you are supposed to run a desktop environment (aka GNOME) where
 you configure such things at run-time.
 
 Disabling Hotplug ("AutoAddDevices"), as you wrote, restores the previous
 behaviour.
