I'm not sure, but I think it's possible to get !is_hint events even if
you pass in the hint mask. I'd have to look up the details.

I don't think there's really a reason to check is_hint - typically we
just unconditionally use gdk_window_get_pointer() these days, and
always ignore event->x event->y.
