Sorry for the multiple posts, but I haven't stopped testing this and I have some new information to add.

1.) First of all, the package xserver-xorg-input-joystick-1:1.3.2-1ubuntu1 is not installed by default. The whole time I was waiting for it to update, when the default install of both Ubuntu and Kubuntu both do not include this. (Even on an install I did a few days ago).

2.) If xserver-xorg-input-joystick is required for you to be able to utilize gamepads, this package MUST be included in the default install. Otherwise, the backlash from gamers will be HUGE.

3.) Even worse, the package xserver-xorg-input-joystick-1:1.3.2-1ubuntu1 was marked as the fix for this bug, and this package doesn't even fix it. It does prevent the D-Pad on my game controller from moving the mouse, but the action buttons still restart X. This is DEFINITELY not fixed.

4.) Thank you to everyone testing this and to all the awesome developers working so hard on a great OS! :)
