patch fixing the issue

pointer movement events in X or Y with a positive value of < 1.0 aren't registered, so slow mouse / trackpad movements have no effect, making the pointer feel strange, especially when homing in on a something.

This is caused by the storage of the absolute X and Y position as integers in the struct _ClutterInputDevice so every time a positive < 1 dx / dy comes in it is truncated back to the same integer value.

the attached patch fixes the issue on my machine (Macbook Pro 9,2 running fedora rawhide).

I am very new to Clutter and have no idea if this breaks clutter APIs / other... :)
