Crying, sigh... but very thankful for your reply!
I sent you revised code. Has your black window, but extra debug code 
you can use to verify that at least the xcb version of grab pointer 
doesn't work as you describe. I've used all three windows (popup, 
parent, root), sync/async, before and after button release that creates 
the dropdown. It still requires a 'grab' or that button is not released 
for one to receive events. Extra #if0 code was my next logical attempt 
before the, omg have you seen, evdev attempt at getting events. I'm 
really not that bright! Nor do I want to replace X Server. LOL this 
code was to replace the defunct gdk3.
 Ohh I will try Xlib's GrabPointer, I know somewhere I've got the 
header/add on to use both codes :)
 And in main() is example of shutting off debug specific events.
