I think you may be misplacing blame. Are you aware of this old
upstream regression?
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39949
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.
