no, an input event is sent as only one type of event, either core, XI or
XI2. the assumption is that an application that knows about XI2 shouldn't
register for core events.

Affected by this are button, key and motion events. enter/leave and focus
events are sent in both ways because it's a quite different codepath.
also, not sending enter/leave events is quite risky and may break the
protcol. not sending motion events is safe however.
