bug#56139: [PATCH 0/4] Make window managers use libinput-minimal instead of libinput

Hi,

Good catch; applied, thanks!

It never occurred to me that it could depend on GTK+; apparently that’s
for some debugging GUI, but it’s not clear how it’s supposed to get
invoked:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ grep -r 2i4ykhraljp7jhhs76v44c51kkz31f01 $(guix build libinput)
grep: 
/gnu/store/brbdvjj4k9g80c2vdv8cfkckwd1q9dsk-libinput-1.19.2/libexec/libinput/libinput-debug-gui:
 binary file matches
grep: 
/gnu/store/brbdvjj4k9g80c2vdv8cfkckwd1q9dsk-libinput-1.19.2/etc/ld.so.cache: 
binary file matches
$ grep -r libinput-debug-gui $(guix build libinput)
$ echo $?
1
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

What’s is it used for?

Ludo’.
