Probably an omission (assuming things ought to be at least consistent).

There was a bug recently where the GTK HID would not flip about the
correct location, which I fixed yesterday. (I probably broke it
recently, but didn't bisect to check).

The idea here is that the board flips around the mouse pointer. The only
problem with that is that the GTK HID still rigidly enforces that the
board can't be panned further than the edges of the screen, so sometimes
it can't land the board in the right place.

The fix I aim to apply is to expand the allowed panning region, but an
alternative would be to (ick) add a pointer warp when the board is
un-able to flip exactly under the pointer.
