Hi,

Btw, I had an issue when writing the VirtualBox mouse input_server add-on.
Because virtualbox only passes absolute coordinates to it, I'm only able to 
send B_MOUSE_MOVED messages without the buttons field. Some apps like Tracker 
don't really like this and fail to handle selections or drags because it 
doesn't see the buttons as being pressed.

This sounds really strange. Why would you be unable to send button state in each message? What does it have to do with coordinates?

Aside from that, I agree some of the repeated button state tracking in each add-on could be moved to the input_server side.

Best regards,
