On other distributions I enjoy using the Acme text editor 
(http://acme.cat-v.org/). Part of using Acme efficiently involves allowing 
it to move the mouse for you, e.g., to search for a term you right-click on 
a word, and the cursor jumps to the next instance of the word in the open 
file.


Obviously this doesn't work on Qubes, since the gui agent doesn't let 
programs in VMs move the cursor.


I was thinking about the best way to selectively allow a VM to move the 
cursor, and I thought that the easiest and most secure way to do it would 
probably be to wrap Acme's cursor movements up into a dummy device, and use 
qubes-app-linux-input-proxy to treat the VM running Acme as if it has an 
input device attached.


Has anyone tried something like this before?


Daniel
