  I'm very concerned about this from a security perspective. This would allow to globally get notifications about the cursor positions and thus destroy one of the design goals of Wayland. I'm not against it in general, but I think we need to come up with a good solution to address the security implication.
  
  Why do you want to do things like MouseMark, Trackmouse with a declarative KWin script? This would be very bad from performance consideration. If you want to do these effects in a scripted approach we need to extend the scripting API.
