compiz version 0.9.2 (compiled from git)

I'm unsure if this bug is reproducable with other hardware or versions of compiz, but in 0.9.2 if you attach a second mouse and xinput create-master new then reattach the slave pointer to the master, the new master is unable to move windows at all or perform various other functions. With metacity it can so I think this bug directly affects compiz 0.9.2

There is no MPX support in compiz yet, this will come in due time.

I see, I was under the impression it was working due to a few videos I found showing you using mpx on an old version of compiz I'll go ahead and mark this as invalid.

Yeah. That was based on some patches I did in 2008 to get it to work,
although with compiz++ they don't apply anymore.

It should be simple to write a simple MPX system though.
