Right. The set_events doesn't make change, so I removed it.
I realized that it doesn't need a mouse click in the window, but it
needs that the mouse is somewhere over the window to actually have the focus.
I guess I don't know X-Window well enough. It looks strange to me, because even
if this window doesn't have the focus this way (i.e. the mouse is over this
window) I can already type text in it, so I thought it actually got the focus
(and I used the grab_focus so it got it... Maybe I shouldn't?).
If the mouse is outside, then the key_release event is not working (unless I
clicked in the window). I wonder if there's a way to catch this event even if
the mouse is outside.
Or does it have something to do with the focus settings in the window-manager
setup? I tried several ways, without any change in my test program behaviour...
