If both were equal it would work OK. Since you want hints, you should continue to ask for them in the grab, and all will be well: XGrabPointer (dpy, w, True, ! ButtonPressMask | PointerMotionMask ! | PointerMotionHintMask, GrabModeAsync, /* pointer mode */ GrabModeAsync, /* kbd mode */ limit_window, /* confine-to window */ None, CurrentTime);
