To elaborate... what you see on a "traditional" stylus-based Wacom
tablet is probably what Qemu is implementing. That means:

* Stylus is near (within a few centimetres) but not touching the screen:
Mouse cursor visible and follows the pen (but ideally shows something
different to an arrow, like a pencil cursor).

* Stylus touches the screen: That's a touch or primary button-down
event, and button up event for release.

* Stylus moves away from the screen: No cursor is visible.

I think that's what Qemu is trying to emulate and it's probably a good
model for our controlling a virtual touch screen with a mouse too. So we
should fix libinput and/or Mir to work in this environment. Obviously it
did until recently.

Bug description:
  STEPS:
  1. Flash with sudo ubuntu-emulator create --channel ubuntu-touch/rc/ubuntu rc-test
  2. Wait for it to build
  3. Run with ubuntu-emulator run rc-test
  4. Starts up but the mouse never moves meaning you can't leave the first page of the welcome wizard

  EXPECTED:
  I expect the emulator cursor to follow the mouse cursor and be able to click on things

  ACTUAL:
  Emulator cursors stay in the top left preventing movement.

  As noted below F6 toggles the input mode.
  The pointer movement is quite slow and jerky.
  You also can no longer initiate an edge swipe even in trackball mode.

  This is a major regression from how the emulator used to perform.
