multiple times.
(LP: #357338. Reopen 348052 rejecting patch)

Add 175_set_pointer_screen_in_xtestfakeinput.patch: Fixes issue when
using Vino, mouse cursor can get stuck in the upper left corner of the
screen. The POINTER_SCREEN flag must be set explicitly for XTest core events to avoid
out-of-range events when the lastSlave was an SD with an explicit axis range.
Device events sent through XTest don't need this flag, they are expected to be
in the valuator range of the device anyway.
(LP: #337926)

* Add 172_cwgetbackingpicture_nullptr_check.patch:
