I'm really happy to see this discussion. It's important, and if a resolution comes out of it the world will be a better place :)
Windows uses Ctrl Alt Delete as a magical key combination that is handled at a lower level than everything else. (Note those “press ctrl+alt+delete to log in” prompts in corporate setups). Seems a smart approach to me! Couldn't there be a specific key combination handled at a low level, like that, which releases a grabbed keyboard / pointer? Not nearly as user-friendly and awesome as just being able to handle any WM shortcuts when the pointer is grabbed, but perhaps a reasonable stop-gap? (Besides, what do we do with the grabbed pointer in the former case? At some point the user will need to release it and will have trouble, WM shortcuts or not, at least as far as I am aware).
