Thanks. Seems to work, but can you explain how it works? E.g. why do you
need a temporary file?
Also, it probably can't be applied directly like that, since we have a
standard way to create a tempfile I think, but that should be easy to
fix.
Another question is, why not use a direct X11 API call instead of xset?
And also, will this patch cause the mouse behavior of existing programs
to change in any way?
