Then apps would need to know what the accel paramaters mean, which
requires us to lock down the acceleration logic and mathematical
functions in the protocol specification. I don't think that is
something Wayland wants to specify.

If you have the compositor in charge of moving the cursor, and the app
in charge of scrolling and drawing the contents, you would get a lag
between the cursor moving and the content/scrollbar moving. Granted,
this is probably a minor issue and can happen in other scenarios. We
did manage to avoid the unsync with window moves, though.


Thanks,
