Doing that on the client side works too and has the obvious advantage
that you can present it in the GUI, so it isn't sorta "black magic" to
the user.  Nevertheless it would be useful to know for the client
whenever relative or absolute coordinates are more useful (i.e. usb
tablet vs. ps2 mouse), so it could present "relative/absolute/automatic"
choice to the user.
