Hi Konstantin,

thanks for the input!

Of course one could create a separate account. But as of now, it's not more 
than opening a web browser and using some educational websites (anton.app and 
antolin.westermann.de). 

So when he wakes up my notebook from suspend to disk, he sees my (right-
handed) desktop, would have to log out using the right-handed mouse, and would 
need to login as another user.

It's not about a real user account, it's about quickly using the machine for a 
few minutes.

I simply liked the (apparently) simple approach of that "mouseswap" plasmoid, 
as it seems you would just have to do one click to do the job.

Also, I think it would be an alluring challenge to get it to work this way ;-)

I think the mouseswap Plasmoid didn't look for a change to that specific 
option, but for any configuration change via systemsettings, and looked up the 
specific setting via the kconfig framework afterwards.

So I would (possibly) already be happy to figure out how I can detect any 
config change ...
