I would like to disagree here. Condensing mouse move events is the right
thing to do in most cases. There may be a few applications that want to
get all the movement events, even when they aren't fast enough to handle
them. (Although I really don't see what they could be doing with them in
this case) For these special cases we could thing about an option to
switch off the compression of events. Changing this for all applications
will make GNUstep unusable on slow devices. And for fast applications no
event compression happens anyway.
