That program just locks up without printing anything here. Repeatedly
setting the mouse to the center just is a hack and never works properly
(allegro's X driver tries to do it, but it never worked properly.. the
mouse escapes when it moves too fast, and in general gets more
unresponsive than without using get_mouse_mickeys). So I think the only
proper way to have (1) is to have it in the API.
