I never had problems with mouse positioning under XaAES. Rather there were
problems during dragging things since (if I understood it correctly)
during the drag you switch from Fselect(moose) to VDI mouse vectors. From
this I deduced that there's a synchronization problem between mouse status
in moose and mouse status in VDI.

This is of course true. But how does the VDI read mouse when moose is
active?

I suggested to let VDI use moose (or mouse) so that VDI and XaAES would
have the same information - the mouse status would be synchronized.
