Bug#576183: Mouse sometimes erratically jumps around, locks X server, when crossing Xinerama edges

(apologies, I know nothing about Xinerama, and I'm currently onboard a
train so cannot check right now, but) isn't a WM involved in this kind
of things? In which case, does trying another one help?

When you say lock, I assume the server isn't actually deadlocked, it's
“just” you're switching quickly between 2 (or a limited number of)
positions on screen, and input being directed once here once there?
