SetMouseQueue_ tells intuition how many mouse move events (maximum) you want in
your queue of window events *waiting* to be processed. So if you have 5 mouse
move events that you have not done anything with (i.e. you're doing something
processor intensive and you haven't reached the waitevent command before 5
mousemoves have been sent) then intuition will not send you any more until you
take some out of the queue, with a (wait)event type command.

I think its a bug in the NCS. I tried opening an NCS window and then using the
OS commands to process the messages, and it still only gave me 5 mousemoves.
Changing to opening the window with OS commands gives the correct response -
mousemoves until you quit.

I don't know any workaround, I thought using OS commands for processing the
messages would have helped, but it seems not.
