I can't confirm it exactly as Stan describes it. For me, Fl::grab() is broken *regardless* of which of his typedefs I use. Fl::grab(..) is supposed to hijack all X events and send them to the anointed window. In this case, Stan's "second window" should receive all events. My F8 box has kernel 2.6.23, gcc 4.1.2, latest Xorg (what ever that is; I can't figure out what/how to invoke something to tell me). There, the second window doesn't get any events unless the cursor is inside one of the application windows when the mouse is pressed. Of course, this is standard X server behavior; Fl::grab() seems to have no effect at all. Event grabbing has always been troublesome. It allows a misbehaving application to hang the server. Xorg may have decided this was not a feature but a bug and decided to correct it. Early on, I tried to use Fl::grab(..) for some reason or another. Under XFree86, it worked as documented at the time, but I eventually abandoned it because the behavior was quite bizarre on Windows.
