Hi,

the usual grab agony: something goes wrong at the wrong time and
X is completely unusable. No idea what exactly went wrong this
time - luckilly ctrl-alt-f2 saved me. 
Very unpleasant problem, should be fixed or avoided no matter how.

I have no idea about SDL, if I have to grab in X I do at least:
 - handle Enter/Leave, Map/UnMap events
 - add timer and enforce a maximum grab time, eg 45s

Also, if it is not absolutely necessary to grab the mouse
it would be good to avoid this.

Richard
