Not just joystick devices. I just tried running a program which uses libsdl
on a console: it wanted mouse access, it fell over because it couldn't open
any mouse device. 'chmod 644 /dev/input/m*' (matches mice and mouse0) fixed
it.

I suggest that the following be added to udev.permissions before the existing "input/*" line:

input/mice:root:root:0666
input/mouse*:root:root:0644

Reason for 0666: /dev/input/mice is a virtual mouse which can be reconfigured by a client program without affecting other client programs. If the same is true of /dev/input/mouse*, then those too should use 0666 rather than 0644.

Use GOTOs only to implement a fundamental structure.
