No. Look at the new input subsystem in 2.5. It should allow you to
have different USB keyboards and mice assigned to different X displays,
all attached to one machine. So if one user plugs in a digital camera
into their keyboard's USB hub, who is the local user? All users of the
machine?
It gets pretty tricky :)
