I don't  think I have enough information from GTK to know if a widget
has consumed and event during a grab or if  it should be handled by
the system. Generally when a grab is on if the  mouse has activated a
system widget then it still gets events.
As you mentioned in the rest of the post the system needs to manager
its own system focus.  I'd be happy to see if there is something we
could do to fix this just not sure its possible. I don't like grabs as
far as I know any window system that allows grabs also opens up cases
where the app can lock up the window system.
