it's one of the things that annoyed me a while ago. It's not easy to  
get delta coordinates from the device (especially if the cursor is  
clipped).
I'm _really_ busy till the end of march but after that I might get  
around to putting some events in that give you deltas directly. don't  
hold me to it though.
