I think I see this thread and I can't find where is explained why the cursor grabbing is needed. What is the date of the message you mention? This locked cursor behaviour is not good. Wait is mostly used in "I" functions. It is used in many places, including fvwm-themes, FVWM FAQ. In any case I think Wait command may have additional optional parameter "timeout" and probably one more optional parameter "timeout-command". And we should have a built-in command Break, which finishes a function, it may be used in Wait's "timeout-command" or in conditional commands.
