Re: is gdk_grab_pointer grabbing all XInput devices now?

Turns out that the xinput devices are still readable from an Xlib-only 
client.  Looks as though the issue has to do with window modality - 
though an external client can continue to get the input events while the 
nautilus modal window is posted, GOK cannot, the events are getting 
queued for later delivery (they get unblocked after the dialog is 
dismissed).  Odd thing is, this doesn't happen if the dialog is posted 
"normall", i.e. from nautilus using the mouse, it only happens if the 
dialog is posted via an at-spi command from GOK!  Possibly some weird WM 
bug having to do with focus - though GOK never gets focus, if the dialog 
is invoked from GOK then it acts 'modal to GOK' with regard to input events.

Any further insight still appreciated.  I'll probably take this to 
desktop-devel-list if more email is warranted, though there certainly 
could be gtk+ involvement here as well.
