gdk:device-manager-client-pointer (manager)

manager -- a gdk:device-manager object

The gdk:device client pointer.

Returns the client pointer, that is, the master pointer that acts as the core pointer for this application. In X11, window managers may change this depending on the interaction pattern under the presence of several pointers.

You should use this function sheldomly, only in code that is not triggered by a gdk:event event and there are not other means to get a meaningful gdk:device object to operate on. The gdk:device-manager-client-pointer function has been deprecated since version 3.20 and should not be used in newly written code. Use the gdk:seat-pointer function instead.
