fwiw, the numerical value may be different on each machine (even on each
startup), it purely depends on how many other properties were created before
this one. only a handful of atoms have real fixed values, they're named
XA_... (XA_ATOM, XA_CARDINAL, etc.)

the rotation matrix is defined as
[ cos -sin 0 ]
[ sin cos 0 ]
[ 0 0 1 ]
so for a 90 degree rotation you'd use 0 -1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1. However, it's
important to remember you're rotating around the origin, so if you do rotate
you need to offset too, so the above example actually becomes.
[ 0 -1 1 ]
[ 1 0 0 ]
[ 0 0 1 ]
The offset is the important bit, forget about it and you get the cursor
stuck in corners or edges.
Cheers,
Peter
