Hi Pavel,

Thanks for taking time to review this one.

The change to get into gtk3 functions is good IMHO as we should
be getting better support for wayland. I can only reproduce this
bug on X11 so there is that :)

Thanks, I don't really plan to apply this patch upstream unless
we are about to do a release. I hope to have time to handle
gdk_seat_grab failures soonish.

I have both bugs in the bottom of the commit log, they are:

Fedora: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1485968
RHEL7: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1571422

Yes, I should have done that already indeed, thanks for the
suggestion.

Indeed.
