Seems like Wine might want a representative.
What issues would we want to bring up there?
- relative mouse motion events
...?

Perhaps X developers should be aware about the way we implement windowed opengl rendering (bug 2398) using Composite. Basically we use an 'offscreen' window as a buffer and so now and then we copy this data over. Not all drivers support this properly yet (yes, they are working on features like this) but I don't think most are aware of the way Wine uses them (there is more than compiz).

I'd phrase this as ability to open main pointer device and keyboard as 
XInput device. That will be enough.

Ah.  Yes.  That makes a lot more sense.  Thanks!
