Windows probably pulls this off by reading relative mouse movement directly from the device, but I don't think wine developers want to go that route. An X extension would be needed that can detect relative mouse movement that does not generate absolute movement.
Well, all (except tablets of course) mouse drivers report relative movements (even in X11 at the lowest level).
We just need to export this to user-space via the X11 API.
I once started a thread about this on the FD.O lists and people seemed to agree it would be doable and (if not too ugly) accepted into the X.org tree. Now we just need to find someone to code it :)
You, you already left too many time speaking about that, you would time to code it :)

PS: it'll be cool to have a GLX extension to change the "fbconfig" of an existing window and another to share contexts (ala wglShareLists)
