X11 automatically "grabs" the pointer for an application when a mouse
button is pressed. (This is why, for example, when you press the left
mouse button in an xterm and move the mouse out of the window while
holding it down, you can still specify the cut region). Mark: you
might consider using XUngrabPointer when you receive a ButtonPress
event...although I'm not sure if it will do the right thing.
