I do not think that I was assigning a blame.  I was just curious if a
sane solution to the quoted problem exists.  It obviously affects much
more then a particular configuration riddle I was trying to solve.
"Write your own X server" is clearly beyond reasonable.  "Patch your X
server" sounds less bad although it would have to be repeated on every
update.  It is surely disappointing that this long time ago reported bug
still exists in 1.14.4; that even despite that some patches are present.

As for my particular "context issue", where mouse scaling would be
useful, Adam supplied a workaround by noting that Gnome3 switched
Alt+Grab to Super+Grab just to make it more "secret".  Luckily usually
somebody, somewhere may have an answer. :-)  Interestingly enough when I
already knew what to look for when I tried to google for that
particular key combo information I found it but only on some obscure
blogs and/or in answers to questions "why this stopped to work".  If
this is really documented somewhere I missed it.
