revert 2bbb12c355308d10bf123911044fbdf6ae7fb59c (reverts cleanly).
and then apply the following:

diff --git a/mi/mieq.c b/mi/mieq.c
index 6a211a1..f534c5d 100644
--- a/mi/mieq.c
+++ b/mi/mieq.c
@@ -335,7 +335,7 @@ mieqProcessInputEvents(void)
         miEventQueue.head = (miEventQueue.head + 1) % QUEUE_SIZE;
 
         type    = event->u.u.type;
-        master  = (!dev->isMaster && dev->u.master) ? dev->u.master : NULL;
+        master  = (!dev->isMaster && dev->u.master && dev->coreEvents) ? dev->u.master : NULL;
 
         if (screenIsSaved == SCREEN_SAVER_ON)
             dixSaveScreens (serverClient, SCREEN_SAVER_OFF, ScreenSaverReset);

This should restore the CoreControl for 1.6 (untested, mind you). Does this
work as you expect?
