When I was looking earlier, this didn't seem out of the ordinary - after 
all, X had been closed down. However, I then saw this in a newer log, 
with X still running:

(II) UnloadModule: "evdev"
(II) ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse: Close
(II) UnloadModule: "evdev"

It seems a little early to be unloading input drivers.
