Hit space bar, it will set the origin for dx and dy.  It's useful for seeing where the cursor is relative to the most recent 'origin' set with the spacebar.  I use it all the time :).

I would have assumed that's what "dx" and "dy" in the footer/status bar are for; however, it seems like in all cases, they simply reflect the same values as "X" and "Y".
