This is more or less what I've whipped up last night. I want to do some
additional tests before subitting it here though.

With my patch, mouse warping is the default mode in X11 fullscreen and
disabled by default in windowed mode (similar to the Windows port).
Getting rid of the two-second-delay and switching modes simplifies the 
X mouse driver considerably too.
