+ ============
+ Original bug description:
+
Geis event dispatching can hang with high cpu usage under some
circumstances.
Specifically, if a gesture event callback contains the following
sequence
system("xdotool getactivewindow key x");
the X server sends an XCB_UNGRAB_KEY event, which sends the event
dispatch into an infinite loop.
