The problem is definitely real.

 - Widget with a pointer grab becomes shadowed by gtk_grab_add() 
   or becomes insensitive and never gets button release.

 - Widget with gtk_grab_add() becomes insensitive. (This is 
   what the GTK+-1.2 change fixed.)

Things like this. If you look at my mail to the list about
notification of shadowing by gtk_grab_add() I made suggestions
there about the elemements of a fix.
