Rats.
Back to my previous attempt then which seemed a little less elegant: the
idea was that I would initially register the pointer as relative but
check in the first call to xenfb_mouse_event() and if I had guessed
wrong, remove the existing mouse handler and add a new one with
registered as absolute. If the mouse turns out to be absolute, we miss
the very first pointer event but this doesn't seem to be much of an
issue because everything will be sorted out on the next mouse event (the
various pieces of code that are interested in whether or not the mouse
is enabled seem to be OK about switching from relative to absolute).
Before I commit a patch to electrons are the any obvious flaws in that
approach?
