Maybe. But it is not always needed to grab the pointer when we execute a complex function. So, I suggest that when fvwm fail to grab the pointer for executing a complex function we do not abort the function execution. This fix Jules problem (that I can reproduce, and it happens the same thing with the Mozilla resize grip). What do you think? Note that the "problem" does not arise to me with 2.5.7 and I think that it appears _for me_ during your recent work on ConfigureRequest Event. However, it seems that Jules use 2.5.7.
