Isn't this what happens when you post a menu, for example?  The server
is grabbed?  That's why you can whiz the mouse around the screen and the
menu stays posted and other windows don't get focus (even if you have
focus follows mouse) and the mouse cursor doesn't change shape, etc.

And I don't men just FVWM menus, I mean menus in just about any app.

Or, is that something different?
