In this case value will always remain within the limits (which isn't true for
the mouse move).

btnModify() (called prior to rendering) finally restricts value.

Currently we actually have: mouse position -> value (which is decisive) ->
item representation (by rendering).

I'm aware that there may be precision problems when using a potmeter to
adjust something, but so far this didn't cause major troubles.

Don't spend too much time dealing with Win32. I can do the tests, and we can
even implement it for Win32 later (though I'd like to implement at one go).
