I forgot an important detail, the catch is that in GTK 1.2, the "auto grab" on button press is like grabbing with owner_events set to TRUE, meaning that events don't go to the grab window, instead they go to whichever window the mouse pointer is inside. So your gdk_pointer_grab() does have some effect, it sets owner_events to FALSE. The usual workaround for this is to gtk_grab_add() in addition to gdk_pointer_grab(), gtk_grab_add() will forward events to your widget, even if they occurred on another widget; and it will apply to already-received-but-not-yet-processed events. In GTK 2.0 the "auto grab" has owner_events of FALSE, so you don't have to do the gtk_grab_add(), and usually not even the gdk_pointer_grab().
