I'm not sure that makes sense; e.g. it seems inconsistent with leaving
the cursor image untransformed in the driverIsPerformingTransform case.
It seems to me like the idea behind driverIsPerformingTransform was to
leave all transformations to the driver/hardware.

Aaron, what do you think? How does the driver you added this stuff for
deal with the broken in_range handling?
