I'm not even sure I want a system to wake up because it's mouse
gets knocked.
I guess a mouse could include accelerometers so that you can shake it!

I've an idea that one of my systems manages to boot if the mouse
is knocked (and it was last shutdown from windows).
At least, that it why I think it is sometimes booting up.
