[Interest] Glueing widgets together

[Sensei]

Yes John, I'm on a Mac.

I think you're right. After dumping the whole event chain, I clearly see
that events are clustered: if there isn't a delay between them (I am fast
and constant dragging the window around), I get only one event when my
speed slows down.

So there's nothing I can do, right?
