+Pointer barrier events
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+If a master pointer moves against a pointer barrier blocking movement in
+that pointer's direction, the movement of the pointer is clamped to the x or
+y coordinate of the barrier, whichever applies. For a description of pointer
+barriers and barrier creation and destruction see the XFixes protocol
+specification v 5.0 or later.
+http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/proto/fixesproto/plain/fixesproto.txt
+
+A pointer hitting a blocking barrier creates a new barrier event sequence,
+identified by a unique event ID. A new event ID is assigned when the pointer
+first hits a barrier. Subsequent movements against or along the pointer
+barrier are assigned the same event ID. The event generated by the pointer
+leaving the barrier, or being released by a client request, is the last
+event with this event ID. Any future movements of this device blocked by
+this barrier will be assigned a new event ID.
+
+Pointer barrier events are delivered exclusively to the client that created
+the barrier, and to the window specified in the CreatePointerBarrier
+request (the "barrier window"). A pointer barrier blocks pointer movement
+regardless of whether its window is mapped and/or viewable. If the pointer
+barrier window is destroyed, the pointer barrier remains blocking but a
+client will not receive further events.
+
+If a device is actively grabbed by a client or a passive grab activated
+for this client, and the pointer moves against a pointer barrier created by
+this client and the grab-window is the barrier window, that client will
+receive pointer barrier events if:
+- owner-events is true or false and the grab's event mask includes
+ pointer barrier events, or
+- owner-events is true and the client has selected for barrier events on the
+ barrier window.
+
+If the grab-window is not the barrier window, the client will receive events
+if:
+- the client has selected for barrier events on the barrier window.
+
+If the barrier is not owned by this client, no barrier events are sent to
+this client. The client owning the barrier will receive events if:
+- the client has pointer barrier events selected on the window associated
+ with the pointer barrier
+
+The BarrierDeviceIsGrabbed flag is set whenever a pointer barrier event is
+generated while the device is actively grabbed by any client or a passive
+grab has activated for this device prior to the event.

+A BarrierEvent indicates interaction between a barrier and a pointer device.
+If the event type is BarrierHit, pointer movement has been blocked by a
+barrier. If the event type is BarrierLeave, a pointer previously blocked
+by a barrier has moved away from that barrier, or has moved
+through the blocking barrier following an earlier XIBarrierReleasePointer
+request.
+
+ eventid
+ The unique event ID for this barrier event sequence.
+ root
+ event
+ The root window or barrier window, respectively. The barrier window
+ is always the drawable specified in in the CreatePointerBarrier request.
+ barrier
+ The barrier blocking pointer movement.
+ dtime
+ The relative time in milliseconds between the last event and this
+ event.
+ flags
+ A set of flags that apply to this barrier event
+ PointerReleased:
+ The pointer has moved through the barrier following a
+ XIBarrierReleasePointer request (BarrierLeave only).
+ DeviceIsGrabbed:
+ The pointer device that generated this event is currently
+ grabbed.
+ sourceid
+ The source device that originally generated the event.
+ root_x
+ root_y
+ The position of the pointer in screen coordinates (16.16 fixed
+ point), after being constrained by barrier and/or screen extents.
+ dx
+ dy
+ The relative movement of the pointer from its previous position to
+ the new position if pointer movement were not constrained by this
+ barrier.
+
+Root coordinates in barrier events represent the position of the cursor
+after confinement by barriers, screens and RandR output extents.
+
+Barrier event IDs are provided in the eventid field of barrier events. Its
+value is always provided in every barrier event. Event IDs are
+represented as unsigned 32-bit values and increase strictly monotonically in
+value for each new barrier event sequence, wrapping back to 0 upon reaching
+the numerical limit of IDs. The increment between two event IDs is
+indeterminate. Clients may not assume that any future barrier constraints
+will have specific event IDs. IDs are unique per device per barrier.
+
+If a pointer is actively grabbed after a barrier event sequence has
+initiated, future barrier events of this sequence continue to use the same
+eventid, but all barrier events have the DeviceIsGrabbed flag set. If the
+pointer is ungrabbed, future events of this sequence have the same eventid
+and the DeviceIsGrabbed flag is unset.
+
+The PointerReleased flag may only be set on a BarrierLeave event.
+A BarrierLeave(PointerReleased) event is generated when the pointer moves
+through the barrier following a XIBarrierReleasePointer request. The time
+between the XIBarrierReleasePointer and the BarrierLeave event thus depends
+on user input.
+A BarrierLeave(PointerReleased) event is also generated if the barrier is
+destroyed while pointer movement is constrained by the barrier. This event
+has a dx/dy of 0/0.
