Guess that needs to be refined ;)

Just something relative (if available) should good enougth.  The 
intended purpose is being able to figure how much time passed between 
two events, so one can figure whenever two mouse clicks should be 
considered a double-click or not.  Ideally the timestamps from the 
original mouse event in the vnc/spice client would be passed all the way 
through to the guest.  Didn't check the protocols whenever they actually 
support that, but I think we should have this in the protocol even if 
they don't ...
