When a program is sending fake mouse clicks when I didn't ask it to, I
call it clumsy.  Here I am typing in the cli, I hit the mouse into my
text editor window with my elbow, (so I can keep my fingers in the home
position :-) and start typing, and the cursor suddenly jumps to the
position under the mouse pointer.  I found Sunmouse unusable for this
reason.

Hey, don't get me wrong.  It was a great idea.  I was disappointed when
I decided it would cause problems and bagged it.  It's just that it's
not anywhere near as elegant as HeliosMouse or Dmouse.
