Multi-monitor mouse control utilities

These utilities address mouse and cursor movement issues across multiple monitors, including dead corners, DPI mismatches, and phantom displays. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from, as only four dated entries exist before the index start. Traction leaders are phantommonitor, littlebigmouse, and x11-mouse-funnel, each with 0 stars.
