Forgot this part. I don't think we should have any duplications of
protocol like this. We'd make the API twice as big for no significant
wins.

If one doesn't want higher frequence relative motions, then one doesn't
need to get the relative pointer; and if one doesn't care for absolute
motions, then one can just ignore them. They will be fewer of them
anyway, since wl_fixed_t can't represent all the events that can be
represented via the double fixed type.
