Let me confirm one thing.  The value doesn't affect the behavior with
respect to the mouse position on W32, either?  I'm asking because I'm
thinking about setting its default to nil on Mac Carbon, because if
the value is t, "C-x 5 o" moves the mouse pointer to the upper-right
corner of the focused frame.
