hi there. since a while the xserver supports multipointer and i use them.its
not only childplay. un my case i use them for my wacom tablet because… if a
draw something for example in krita with the tablet and then i move my mouse
the last draw line is broken and i have to redraw it. that sucks on very long
lines. so with multipointer the wacom has his own cursor and i can move the
mouse without a currupt line in krita.
at the moment i have to
xinput list

important is the ID

make this on every start of my system when i use the tablet. so my whish is
that the kde maybe can provide a gui/KCM who we can kreate new masterpointer
and add additional mouses to them if they are pluged in. like it is with your
xrendr kcm. so if i plugin my wacom. a little windows ask me "want to create a
new mouse pointer for your device 'wacom'?" [yes] [no] (x) remember this device
