Well, where we are now is that "grab" does not work as advertised on OSX, or on my FC7/gnome test box (the two systems I have here right now) in so far as neither really grabs the mouse pointer... However, the dismissing of menus and so forth continues to work just fine. So maybe we don't need grab to work? (Or at least don't need it to work any more than it presently does.) It is a pretty invasive thing to do, so I'd really rather not, if we don't have to. Specific observations using Stan's test program: OSX 10.4.11, svn r6027 - the second window gets the push/release for any click inside either of the two windows, including any click on the window decorations. The windows can be moved by dragging their titlebars, however. Clicks outside the window's areas are not affected, so are not grabbed. Keyboard input is not grabbed, so I can type this normally in this window. FC7 with Xorg 1.3.0 (I think), svn r6027 - the behaviour is the same whether I select a single or double window in the test program. In either case the second window gets the push/release for any click inside either of the two windows, including any click on the window decorations. Clicks outside the window's areas are not sent to "second window" and seem to be actioned normally by the system (so I assume are not grabbed) e.g. I can browse the file tree with Nautilus, etc. However, none of the open windows can be moved or dragged (so maybe they are grabbed, but only slightly...). All keyboard input does seem to be grabbed, as I can't type anything. I don't have a win32 box available right now. > PS. I just returned from a long weekend.
