In commit 98d81f75a3e8509e841f9e180e2104e45f6460c5 committed on Jun
20, 2010, I decided to use pointer hints instead of pointer motion notify to possible speed up things. In commit 381e642a39187f615ba54955ef02d1e2fcf1f95d on Jul 17, 2010, I reverted and wrote: Stop querying for pointer position ourself. Don't use motion hinting anymore and get real coordinates with motion event. See Gajewska and Manasse: "Why X Is Not Our Ideal Window System". Since getting a trackball with high CPI and experiencing how slow moves and resizes suddenly were, especially when decreasing mouse acceleration, this is clearly wrong. The right way *is* to subscribe to just motion hints and request pointer coordinates ourselves.
