This is tricky though, especially when you try to set the mouse to the spot
where it enters the window.
I personally prefer the Synaptic Touchpad solution, since we won't need to
grab the mouse at all that way. (Right now I'm using a patched qemu where the
guest mouse follows the host mouse w/o using SDL grab, and sometimes it will
go all over the place.)
