That was the way it used to work before I implemented cursor warping at

having it.
We can't simply ignore cursor warping because the next move of the mouse
in Windows sets the absolute cursor position in X to correspond back to
where the Windows mouse is, thus it totally overrides the warp. Not
having warping lead people to not understand why there application was not
behaving as expected.
Agreed, but does warping really make sense in multiwindow mode to move
the cursor? In fullscreen, sure, but when Xwin is sharing the screen
with other apps it is considered rather rude to move the pointer. ;)
