(Oops, I forgot to say this in my previous reply...!)

Well, again that depends if it is "multi-touch" or "multi-pointer" that
we are implementing...

If it is "multi-touch", then generally there are *no* mouse cursors at
all, whereas "multi-pointer" might indeed have to have one-per-mouse...

IIRC, the original MPX demos that Peter Hutterer showed were
"multi-pointer" and had a veritable swarm of little, different coloured,
cursor arrows on screen.

But since then the "multi-touch" idiom has gained a fair bit of traction
(think iP[hone|ad|od] here) and they don't have any cursor on-screen at
all, by default.

That might work for us too - some sort of "primary" cursor delivered by
whatever means the host system provides, and multiple other "points"
that do not necessarily show a cursor at all, that could be used inside
an app for "multi-touch" features.

That could actually be easier on WinXX (for certain values of "easy")
where the RAWMOUSE mechanism provides a way to read from multiple "mice
like" devices, but only shows a single "system" cursor on the screen,
regardless of how many mice you have plugged in...

I assume (but have not checked) that X11/MPX can be made to do the same
(though I believe that it can also show one-cursor-per-mouse, which we
might not want?).

No idea about OSX...
