What kind of windows you are playing with?  We have a special feature in
Fremantle where Gtk+ dialogs do not use pointer grabs anymore (*, so
it's possible that Gtk+ gets confused there when it does not receive the
pointer events.

*) This is done to allow the touch screen lock to do the pointer grab
and discard all pointer events even if a dialog is open.
