     I've just started using CLX on an Explorer and have come across a
disturbing fact.  I want to receive continuous information about mouse
movement so I can do some rubberbanding, i.e. continuously draw a line 
from a fixed point to the current mouse location.  Unfortunately, it seems
that the X Server will only return the current mouse position after the
mouse has stopped moving.  This can the user some distress as he/she needs
to stop moving the mouse each time they want to see where the line is
being drawn to.  Does anyone know if there is some way to tell
the mouse to return its position even if it's moving?

     Thanks,

       ---- Erik Eilerts    (eilerts@cs.utexas.edu)
