It appears that if the system cursor happens to be inside the window built by SDL_SetVideoMode() upon creation, SDL will generate a bogus mouse motion event.

(Contrary to original post, it isn't related to SDL_ShowCursor() or input grabbing, although input grabbing guarantees that it will trigger, since it moves the cursor into the window.)

The default Gnome window manager, metacity, puts all new windows in the top left corner of the screen. This makes it easy to reproduce this issue.

Hmm, I can't reproduce this any more, or I misunderstood the original report.
