Sorry--I use Blackbox as my window manager, so I created an .Xclients file 
that reads
kinput2 -canna &
exec blackbox

This way, it starts whenever I type startx.  I checked it with a ps ax | 
grep kinput2 and it was definitely running.
(However, don't know if you saw the followup---the HD is definitely dying, 
to the point where various things disappear--so we're thinking that might 
have been a part of the problem. :) )

Thanks
