I don't know if xinput configuration is read by gnome-settings-daemon, but it is not a satisfying workaround as it is not permanent across sessions. You could but it inside your ~/.profile, but then it would not work if your mouse is not connected at the time you open your session (think of a bluetooth mouse that is awaken only when you move it, for example). You could hack some udev rules to workaround this, but a) it's ugly and b) hardly work for multiple users (as you have to export a bunch of X related users environment variable, such as $HOME, $DISPLAY and $XAUTHORITY for the xinput commands). In the light of this, Xorg.conf is the only sensible place to configure the input devices settings for all users.
