I'd assume that this is just because xlib delivers the value
as `double'.

How is floating point coordinates a problem ?

Btw,
    if you are trapping GdkEventMotion you can use:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gdk/gdk-Windows.html#gdk-window-get-pointer
on widget->window for an integer version of the mouse location.
