Yes, that would clarify the behavior, but also requires a change in the
compositor.

Thing is, the issue seems to be pretty much specific to the case of the window
menu, because the window menu is mapped by gnome-shell, thus a different client
to the one that initiated the action.

So I am not sure we really need to break implicit grabs on pointer leave in all
cases, at least it works for most cases but the (external) window menu afaics.

The patch would be at least an intermediary fix without risk of breaking much
else (as limited to the window menu invocation) at least until a wider
consensus is found (and implemented in the clients/compositors) - Trigering the
wrong action is quite unexpected for the user, even is very limited to the use
of header bar and window menu :)
