XNArea was previously unused in this mode, now can be used like XNSpotLocation, except with an area.

This patch is here in anticipation that eventually https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libx11/-/merge_requests/270 may be merged. More information on this change can be found at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libx11/-/issues/222 and in #2691 |

libx11 1.8.11 now permits |

If you have libx11 1.8.11 or later, and you want to try this out, you can try it with my backport branch of Alacritty https://github.com/xorgy/alacritty/tree/v0.15.1-sans-x11-cursor-area-workaround which builds and runs cleanly out of the box with cargo. |

rust-winit is still 0.30.9 in Fedora and alacritty was built last February. I noticed libx11 1.8.11 is available in Fedora. |

@fujiwarat Winit 0.31 has not been released as stable yet, so I don't think they'll update it there. I'll talk with the winit folks about getting this into a patch release before 0.31 (which I think will be a while still). 0.30.9 is still one patch out of date. |
OK, I see. alacritty depends on the many winit packages and I will wait for someone's building packages in Fedora. I also cannot find them in Fedora COPR.
Then, probably I need the updated packages. |
