I hate to disagree with David Rosenthal, but I think that the one use that
I have for warping the pointer is legitimate....

I have some image display code that runs from an xterm, but creates an
image display in a window of its own. If the user asks for a cursor display
(by typing "cursor" to the xterm, in which resides the pointer) the pointer
is warped to the image window and cursor mode is activated; when the cursor
is no longer desired the pointer is warped back to where it started. No
server grabs are needed.
