Yes, the device names we get from udev have quotations marks.  I don't
know why, and I didn't feel like mangling them.

This is also expected at the moment.  The enumeration of devices gives
us /dev/input/event* (which evdev can handle), and
/dev/input/{mouse,kbd}* (which it doesn't).  This results in a couple
error messages for the latter.  It should be possible to tone those down
so users don't get scared…
