Summary from our short email exchange:
If you have an xorg.conf that registers an evdev device, this device will now
produce duplicate events. For most setups, you probably don't need it in your
xorg.conf because HAL picks it up anyway. If you really do, add option
"GrabDevice" "true" and that'll restore the old grabbing behaviour.

No. the old behaviour is too broken, and it's good that it's finally fixed.
"Macintosh mouse button emulation" and the keys that control volume, suspend,
etc. are broken in the old behaviour, and that's a quite serious regression
from F9.
