Bug Description

Tested in Ubuntu 22.04 and Lunar Lobster.

Steps to replicate:

- Install i3 and login it. It is working.
- Add `Option NaturalScrolling "true"` to the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf file for your trackpad.
- Logout or reboot.
- Attempt to login to i3 as normal.
- Login fails, sent back to login screen.
- Test login for "ubuntu" and it works. Natural scrolling is enabled.
- Attempt to switch back to i3, same failed login results.
- From a working command line, remove the `Option NaturalScrolling "true"` from the xorg config, restoring it to its original state.
- Login to i3 begins working again.

Can not enable natural scrolling with my trackpad while using i3!!! Halp!
