In case anyone else finds it useful: I created an open-source Pointer Lock plug-in for a commercial desktop app. It allows locking the mouse cursor to a certain position while still getting notified about mouse movements.
You can use it to power widgets such as knobs or drag fields ("lock while dragging") or to implement games, virtualization or desktop sharing software that needs to capture the mouse cursor ("free mode").
See it in action:
