This seems to be causing various problems; the other platforms don't do this, do we really need it with gtk?  I don't see any issues with removing it altogether.

Is this really a good idea? Windows automatically does some kind of motion event compression in the event queue. Not sure about Mac. I'm afraid that someone moving the mouse while a page is loading is going to generate tons of events and slow things down noticeably.

One use case for disabling event compression is that of web-based note taking applications. When I write quickly in the OneNote web app, my strokes come out piecewise linear instead of smooth. This was also a problem for xournalpp until the developers disabled motion event compression (https://github.com/xournalpp/xournalpp/pull/218).
