I was under the impression that a "seat" can have more than one mouse
and they both move the single pointer, but that does not stop a client
from distinguishing between the mice if it wants. All I am suggesting is
that the same mechanism be used for gamepads so the controls can move
the cursor as well for a client that does not care about gamepads.
I think my other concern that multiple seats control a single pointer is
already been brought up by others in this list, as the idea of there
being a hierarchy of seats, or some kind of linking of seats. This seems
to solve the problem imho.
