Subject: Ignore fake focus events from XGrabKeyboard()
X-Git-Tag: v1.8.90~2^2
X-Git-Url: https://source.dussan.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1d94124f6854e73eef58c595b2b1a4d2a7333962;p=tigervnc.git

Ignore fake focus events from XGrabKeyboard()

Grabbing (and ungrabbing) the keyboard generates fake focus events
with modern versions of Xorg. This causes an infinite loop since we
update the grab status on focus events.

Work around this by ignoring these fake events.
