For output, I don't think there is a difference between the two
descriptions. For using the surface as a source, I agree that it would
be more logical if the device offset affected coordinates there, but it
would be a pain to implement, and I don't know of any real use
cases.

Well, it works for me, and for GDK. I'd suggest you try again. :-)
