For me the main evil of /dev/mouse (and other multuiplexing interfaces)
is that it is impossible to remove one of the streams from the
multiplexed stream without affecting other users. And so are born
various "grab" schemes where we declare one application _the
application_ and let it "grab" the device.. which breaks when there are
other applications also interested in the same data stream.
