But it does not work.

What _does_ work is the separate file, 51-kensington-trackball.conf:

Section "InputClass"
         Identifier "Trackball with Middle Button Emulation"
         MatchProduct "Primax Kensington Eagle Trackball"
 	MatchIsPointer "on"
 	MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
         Driver "evdev"
 	Option "Emulate3Buttons" "True"
EndSection

The string, "Primax Kensington Eagle Trackball" is how the device is seen by
xfce4-4.12.
