+Subject: [PATCH] widget: Only show the cursor on motion if moved
+
+Some devices, like Wacom tablets, will emit mouse motion
+events even when the mouse doesn't move on the tablet. This
+means that the mouse cursor will show up on the screen very shortly
+after hiding.
+
+We now check the motion event against the last location of the
+mouse cursor to avoid this behaviour.

+Subject: Move definition of VteCharAttributes up, #676999
+
+I found the element-type for the attributes in vte_terminal_get_text
+vte_terminal_get_text_include_trailing_spaces and vte_terminal_get_text_range
+strange to be of type "Vte.CharAttributes" and not VteCharAttributes but when I
+changed it I only got a warning. Then I saw that there was already a warning
+about "Unknown namespace for identifier 'vte_char_attributes'", so I moved the
+definition of VteCharAttributes and now those functions are introspectable.
