Thinking about it, seems like screenlock is the odd one here: I can't
think about other use case which would require that level of control
over the mouse. Ideally, a system which could "navigate up" the stack
of rio (unfocusing them from their container) would be a good idea to
both escape the clip prison and also to open the door to future
keyboard-based interactions in an elegant way. If that didn't get in
the way of screenlock, I would undoubtely implement that.
