But is what 'real' Windows does (as it sometimes messes also my Windows
desktop when doing it :-) ).

I once investigated the way to 'lock' the address of the displayed
frame-buffer in X11 by extending the XVidMode extension. And it's basically
not doable easily as this scrolling is done in a very low level of the X11
code and would need a big amount of code to do properly.

This whole 'DXGrab' issue is a bit messy (and even with a full-screen
winedesktop mode we won't fix all these issues easily as we will still have
the XGrabPointer issue).
