I looked into doing this a few months back.  I like your
"proportional" idea though.

In X11, you can turn on the capture of all mouse events, then you
can do things real-time as you drag things around.  This gives you a
LOT of events to process though, as it is very talkative then.  Just
processing those events alone might be a hassle for us.

The way we do it now we just get events when you press and when you
release, and our processing needs are much simpler then for mouse
events.

I might revisit this issue later.
