The problem is that you don't usually really want grabs to "count" -
e.g. you don't want to hide the panel when you open a panel menu, and
in a window manager with mouse focus you don't want to display the
focused window as unfocused whenever the application grabs the mouse.

So X is just really annoying here. There's no magic fix I know of.
