The consensus seems to be that we need relative/raw motion and that it
should be orthogonal to clipping/grabbing. I have now tried my hand at
implementing relative motion by introducing a wl_relative_pointer (no
raw motion yet, but it should not be hard to extend the implementation
analogously). Th

With this approach, is it going to be possible to know both the
relative motion for an even

This request can be used to grab the pointer of a specified seat. A
pointer grabbed in this way will be made invisible and won't send any
more motion events. Instead it reports relative motion using the motion
event on the returned object.
A grab can be broken by the application by destroying the
