   XGrabPointer, using owner == True, returns BadValue errors when an
   event_mask is given.  The function acts as expected (sending events
   given in the event_mask to the specified window) even though it
   returns this error.  This error was not returned in R3; behavior
   between the two versions (aside from the error return) is identical.

   Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?  Email responses would
   be appreciated.

I am posting this not as a reply but having noticed similar 
behaviour in controlloing the sash in the VPane widget of
HP widget set.  I posted an article regarding that before
(Haven't seen any responses yet).  If somebody does respond
please put it on the net also so that others can benefit
from it also.

Thanx
