Oh XFCE is long-gone now; I'm using Fluxbox.

dmesg says, from my last reboot:

[    8.463420] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 243 
[    8.466587] rc rc0: lirc_dev: driver ir-lirc-codec (mceusb) registered at minor = 0
[    8.466590] IR LIRC bridge handler initialized

When I unplug/replug:
