That is the point of checking for LeaveWindow events, to allow you to
*not* remove the windowgram.

Again, getting rid of the windowgram is what we are trying to *avoid*
here, the only proposed change is to change the cursor so that it is
*clear* that the windowgram won't disappear.
As for the x-cut-buffer dumping, that may end up being a reason not to
do this (though probably a bug in xterm...)
