pointer acceleration property rename and docs

[Simon Thum]

Hi,

here's some hopefully final embellishments.

Fernando, thanks for reviewing. If you wish a more formal attribution,
please send your reviewed-by tag.

Peter, one small and hopefully uncontroversial update, feel free to
squash it in. For your changes:

Cheers,

Simon
