Without it, QEMU is essentially unusable on my SuSE 10 host; with it,
the mouse stuff works perfectly. A couple of other people on that
thread had similar experiences with it.

The patch works perfectly here (qemu 0.8.1 on Windows XP host). Without
it I always get the invisible wall if I leave mousegrab and enter it
again close to a window border.
It seems to me that SDL only reports pointer-deltas based on the
movement of its own pointer (which is set invisible) and when this
invisible pointer hits the window border you therefor only get delta=0
even if the guest OS pointer is still somewhere in midscreen. (Setting
the SDL pointer always visible gives a good illustration of what is
going on.)
The guest-OS rather expects raw mouse movement deltas, than the filtered
SDL-pointer deltas.
Somehow the patch seems to solve this, but I can't say that I understand
how (not having looked into the SDL source code).
