This is Symptom 3 (unnecessary warping).

I have a question that may take this issue a step further.  Can the X 
server be told to provide raw unclipped relative movement cursor data?  
That is mouse data before it is adjusted for the boundaries of the screen.

If it is possible then this is the neatest and fastest way to overcome 
this problem.  We can then do away with warping altogether - like it 
never existed.

I have looked through the XLib documentation, but cannot find anything in 
this regard.  If the functionality is absent, can we get the XFree people 
to provide the functionality?
