This is interesting. So If I use xsetwacom with a shared name, who
gets the config?

For user tho differentiate his/her devices this name is all they can
go by so for practical reasons the uniqueness is required at least for
wacom devices.

Well, some configuration can be applied with xsetwacom later but yes,
things that can only be set at load time do depend on this. ;)
