… devices, and faking the last extra button of a disabled device as the default button. The basic idea is to allow using button 1 for touch screens but still allow disabling mouse gestures for button 1, but still allow default gestures with another mouse button.

Would someone else have use for the possibility to assign the default button differently for different devices?
As a workaround, I tested enabling the grabbing for the additional buttons of disabled devices, and made the last additional button of a disabled device behave as the default button. In this PR this feature is enabled if the -e flag is used to start easystroke, without -e it should be identical to the original.
The basic need behind this is to allow using button 1 for touch screens, while disabling button 1 for mouse, but still allowing default gestures with another mouse button. The added patch is included for archival purposes. The present version is obviously a hack which should be eventually reworked so that it integrates with the preference etc, if there's sufficient need for it.
