[PATCH] If running in GNU gdb, disable grabs

[Martin Nordholts <enselic gmail com>]

Hi,

When debugging applications that uses a lot of grabs, such as the GIMP 
paint core, it is annoying when breakpoints are hit while in a grab. 
There are ways to remedy this, but for an inexperience developer it 
appears as if X11 completely freezes.

I have attached two patches to this mail. The first one adds the 
possibility to disable grabs with the GTK_DEBUG environment variable, 
the other patch disable grabs if we appear to run in GNU gdb. The 
approach is inspired by the Qt toolkit which uses the same approach.

I wanted to discuss this on the mailing list before filing any bug 
report. So, does this make sense to anyone else? I have push access so 
when these patches have been reviewed and approved, I can push this to 
git master.

 / Martin
