As far as I understood it, when a window receives a ButtonPressEvent then X automatically grabs the pointer for that window until the corresponding ButtonReleaseEvent has been sent. I may be wrong, but I think to remeber reading this somewhere when I did my research on pointergrabbing. >It is receiving the ButtonRelease event, if >ButtonPressMask is also selected (or) its parent That would be expected and consistent with what I remember. >Widget's window has OwnerGrabButtonMask. Is there any >other way to receive ButtonRelease event alone? I think it would be a problem if a window receives only a press but no release. Depending on what is going on in the desktop the behaviour could be pretty fucked up. If you receive the release then you would need some way to pass this on to the proper window. I tried to achieve this, but I had no luck. So if you find some way how to do it and is portable across windowmanagers I would gladly hear about it. :) >Is it neccessary to select ButtonPressMask also, in >order to receive ButtonRelease events.
