Unless you accidentally lose focus while working with the keyboard and
your left palm or thumb base touches the touchpad (happens to me a
lot). Does not happen if it works in a nested server.

We are not, at least it is not my intention to. I suggested a tip to
overcome one particular feature of the GIMP (which can help for other
programs, too) and it branched into a GUI discussion. But we're not
bashing on the GIMP per se.
