mouse model: provide autodetect on demand

So user could start MM module, work a little, and click to autodetect mouse. After all it is not only about configuring mice detected during installation.

This is not the way SaX2 works.
It is probing the hardware on startup and lets you change the settings.
If you need to click on "autodetect" you already have a working mouse, so this request is rather useless. And so is manual redetection.

FYI, Stefan.

Because it is impossible to have several mice (or other pointing device) and handicapped people simply don't exist.

With such autodetect feature it would be simpler to attach, test, reconfigure mice, especially sax it not so good in detecting them. Forcing user to restart app each time you make it harder than it should be.

Sad.
