Hi,
Someone just brought to my attention this recent (?) addition to the
XF86Config man page:
Option "AllowClosedownGrabs" "boolean"
This option enables the use of the Ctrl+Alt+Keypad-Multiply key
sequence to kill clients with an active keyboard or mouse grab
as well as killing any application that may have locked the
server, normally using the XGrabServer(3) Xlib function.
Default: off.
Note that the options AllowDeactivateGrabs and AllowClosedown-
Grabs will allow users to remove the grab used by screen
saver/locker programs. An API was written to such cases. If you
enable this option, make sure your screen saver/locker is
updated.
Well, since I'm the author of xscreensaver, I guess I'm the one who is
expected to be "updating that screen saver/locker"... But after quite a
bit of searching, I can't find *any* documentation about this purported
API that was added!
I did see this message, which gave me the name XF86MiscSetGrabKeysState:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/xf-xpert/msg03301.html
but I can't find *any* documentation on that function. Google has only
three hits on it, and those are the (uncommented) source.
What exactly does it do? What are the consequences of calling or not
calling it?
Thanks,
