[xmonad] Get mouse to follow cursor

Hi

When I move to a new window I would like the mouse pointer to be at
the same position as the text cursor. Does anyone have a solution to
this?

I would like this since I use

http://linuxaleph.blogspot.com/2008/11/mapping-middle-click-to-keyboard-key.html

to be able to paste text using the keyboard, and for this to work for
example in a browser input field the mouse must follow the text cursor.

Currently I use

import XMonad.Actions.UpdatePointer

and

logHook = updatePointer (Relative 0.5 0.5)

to get the pointer to at least follow the focused window.

Thanks in advance.

Magnus
