I: [PATCH] restored fields order in struct Gpm_Event to avoid ABI change

["Dmitry V. Levin" <ldv@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings!

gpm-1.20.1rc1 introduces (undocumented) ABI change:
two fields (short wdx, wdy) was added in the middle of the structure.
I strongly suggest to move new fields to the end of the structure
rather than change library soname (patch attached).
