    Phoronix: Compiz Support For Multi-Pointer X

        I just posted this over at forum.compiz-fusion.org in the Core Dvelopment forum. Hopefully someone cares enough to do something with it!

                  Input Redirection ?

                  man, I hate acronyms!

                  Does IR mean Infra-Red in this context or Input Redirection? I thought the latter.
