The click/move/clickback thing has been solved a few interesting ways. One
of them being wormholes - Tiny X windows you can leave around which when hit
warp the mouse to the other end of the hole.

Its also not clear to me what it would mean to have two mice controlling two
pointers for things like focus - even at the philosophical level. If it was
"last moved cursor wins" then X already does this with multiple input devices
that are in absolute mode.
