Click-to-grab gets disabled when using -usbdevice tablet.  The only way 
to enable grab when using -usbdevice tablet is to hit ctrl-alt 
explicitly.  I am certainly open to discussing removing ctrl-alt grab by 
default when in absolute mode.  ctrl-alt is mildly convenient in 
absolute mode in order to send things like alt-tab.  You can also do 
that from the monitor though.

The later mouse hiding patch makes more sense in absolute mode.  
However, the current patch doesn't limit itself to absolute mode.  I 
would consider that a requirement for merging.
