Hmm. xwit. Never heard of. Looks like a neat utility.

Personally, I use a program called warp-pointer, which is written by
Kjetil T. Homme (you can get it from
ftp://ftp.ifi.uio.no/people/kjetilho/warp-pointer.tar.gz). Looks like
xwit may be just as useful (or more), though.

In my .fvwm2rc (I use C-+ to switch display):
# Swap between multiple displays
Key Plus A C Exec exec warp-pointer
