For Tracker, it was the best option - for the actual problem of course 
not.

But currently, only GetMouse() still suffers from this problem. We 
could only solve this similar to what is done for B_NO_POINTER_HISTORY 
- although one might argue that how it's done in BeOS is just not 
correct, as GetMouse() from queue doesn't really return all the 
movement messages from the queue; it's very inaccurate (and for that 
you would usually want to use the current position directly, anyway). I 
dunno; until there is some pressing problem which needs a work-around, 
I'd be happy to leave it as is.

Bye,
   Axel.
