Oops, left the () in my copy to e-mail.  Thanks for that, however this isn't
the seeming cause of the issue.  My main event loop doesn't "seem" to be
polling the gamepad at all.  Commenting out the call to pump doesn't seem to
effect anything, so I've removed that.

When I print out the event cue it seems that joystick axis are polled, but
no button press events get shown in the cue.  I'm wondering if this is a Mac
OS X - Logitech issue?  Anyone have experience with this?

Cheers,

Kjm
