The slope has already been created, since we already filter out three
events:

       if (CONSP (c)
           && (EQ (XCAR (c), Qselect_window)
+             || EQ (XCAR (c), Qmove_frame)
               || EQ (XCAR (c), Qfocus_out)
 #ifdef HAVE_DBUS
              || EQ (XCAR (c), Qdbus_event)

I agree totally.
