I agree.  The window manager should listen to the root window instead
of doing grabs unless root, window, and icon contexts have all been
specified for a given button mask.  This is a bug in uwm and it should
be fixed.  Please forward your suggestion to Loretta (Guarino-Reid) as
she currently maintains uwm.
