I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean here. But anyhow
behavior in this area is very likely to change when I commit the
next generation of this stuff shortly. The protocol between
moused and syscons and eventual other apps, has to change for it
to work proberly. What we have now is only usable to use the
cut&paste functionality, and I wanted the bugs in the generic
mousepointer code shaked out before jumping into deep water...
