Thank you, now that makes sense! IOW, the panning I have with randr1.2
here on NVIDIA is a proprietary extension
 to randr1.2 that is not officially present and was added "on top"
without implementing the 1.3 interface that actually
communicates panning information.

Ok, so source of the bug identified. NVIDIA. If I only had a chance to
talk to some engineer there and not just the
average "support" people...

Thanks for your patience!
