This raises an interesting question, though: How are applications
supposed to keep track of the valuators they're interested in if events
only contain partial valuator information? XI1 clients can select for
DeviceState and all Motion events to ensure they are always aware of the
valuator state, which seems a little wasteful but at least it'll work.
I see no way for XI2 clients to accomplish the same thing.
