Maybe the WM should just move any cursor positioning requests away when
in multiwindow mode?  You can still warp the X pointer w/o touching the
Windows one, just condition out the SetCursorPos() call in wincursor.c.
You can still call the miPointerWarpCursor.  This "ambivalence" is done
already if Xwin isn't the foreground app...
