Note that this only happens if the user requests mouse mickeys from the 
driver though. If there's another way to get mickeys, then we could use 
that instead.

The problem is that under X11, the mouse stops generating movement events 
whenever it hits the edge of the window (at least when it is moved further 
in that direction). Unlike Windows, this affects fullscreen mode as well 
as windowed mode.
