Whiteboard

jul 22, 2013 kgunn, currently 3 items will require some attention
#1 - adding mechanism to improve "input aware" applications to enable cancel/replay events (https://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/document/d/1tBEyIdGXRTN0oOtY33f8d_giFZv5x7dcd_NRGiCHx7A/edit)
#2 - single shell surface will need to be changed for convergence form factors
#3 - change qt/qpa for proper event introspection (e.g. no more special invisible surface watching for all events)

(?)
