xeyes app only tracks mouse pointer when its in a window

[Paul Pierce]

The xeyes app only tracks the mouse pointer when the pointer is in a window on the workspace in which the xeyes app was started. When you set xeyes to be visible on all workspaces, there is no tracking when viewing any other workspace than the original one. I am seeing several other mouse hover problems and differences from before the upgrade. I recently let the system upgrade itself from 20.x LTS to 22.x LTS.
