I have played with the strange screen moving/pointer-hot-spot-changing
also.  What happens is this:
 You can move the window down away from the Screen Bar (If you have not
modified your source at all, it already starts 3 pixels down...). Now you
can grap the Screen Bar and move it down.  When you move the screen back
up again, there is a point, as you all know, when the screen stops moving
up because it is at the top (makes sense, no?).  If you continue to move
the mouse up at this point, the pointer will move, ON the Screen Bar.
When this happens, the "Hot Point" of the pointer remains stationary, and
the immage of the pointer moves up in relation to it.  You can "undo" this
effect by again moving the screen down, then up again, stopping your mouse
travel at the exact pixel that puts the screen at the very top.  Move any
farther up, and you re-create the problem.  As of yet I have no idea why
this happens, does anyone else?
