Hi!,

Thanks a lot for the minutes Emmanuele, I absent-mindlessly missed the
meeting...

I've been already testing with gimp, inkscape and xournal, although
latest weeks I was unable to fully test things due to having my tablet
broken.

Besides that, what would be the proposed schedule to merge this? As I
wrote in l.g.o [1], some non-pure GTK+ apps are affected by not getting
core events anymore (emacs-gtk, metacity), so if we're planning to merge
in 2.x, there should be a switch to enable xi2 prior to
gdk_display_open(). For 2.90/3.x, I'd just enforce app developers to do
the right thing, and not messing GdkWindows with XEvents.

Cheers,
  Carlos
