get_mouse_mickeys isn't supposed to retain the actual mouse position 
while giving you differences. In Windows, get_mouse_mickeys will only 
work while your program has focus until hitting the edge of the desktop 
in windowed modes (fullscreen modes are infinite).. in X, the function 
works until it leaves the window area. It's a design difference between 
X and Windows, but in either case neither of them are supposed to move 
the mouse back to where it was last I knew. The way you do that is with 
set_mouse_position (or set_mouse_range if you can get the OS to trap the 
mouse in the window, which I don't believe it does currently).
