Yes, that sounds better :). In fact one might argue the documented behavior is broken and the current "differently abled" behavior is preferable. XGrabPointer(...) and XGrabKeyboard(...) are the underlying library routines FLTK calls to do the deed. They both return obscure, but meaningful values, which FLTK ignores. I imagine Xorg may well be declining FLTK's request and trying to tell FLTK about it. Unlike window positioning and resizing operations, which application authors are repeatedly warned "are only requests", XGrabPointer/XGrabKeyboard documentation seems to imply they will be honored unless something drastic goes wrong, like "your machine has just caught fire!" The upshot is, that I'm not sure Stan's problem is fixable. If the server declines to obey the request, FLTK provides no mechanism to inform your application of the failure, and there's not a lot your application could do about it anyway.
