This is completely tangential and off-topic, and you may be entirely 
happy with your setup (which is fine if so), but if you're interested in 
trying out an alternative solution to the problem of the mouse pointer 
unwantedly jumping between displays, I might suggest this thing I wrote 
and have been using myself for a while: https://github.com/zevweiss/xdpb
