The WM is another application, and it needs to know which input group triggered the event if it is to maintain two foci. Besides, if a game or a CAD or similar program uses two mice/trackballs/joysticks I'd expect it to want to know which one sent the event, but maybe we could do that by using different events in the same input group. That does make it difficult to know how much to merge two inputs in one group though. -- Dr. Andrew C.
