  Sorry, I must still be doing something wrong then. Unfortunately I 
hadn't mentioned I tried with different masks, originally the one you 
mention. Though this time I did also try without the cast uint16_t. I 
added in the reply code too. Also add test of adding in 2 libraries 
even though not needed. Did not try reposition to XCB_BUTTON_PRESS this 
go round.
 After fixing small detail, that tainted my findings, added '\n' to 
fail print out, it appears that it fails both ways, as active and 
passive grabs. The report on passive grab is delayed until the passive 
grab finishes.
 PS. if xcb was working, you also should have a problem. I accidentally 
have a boo boo in the code, I left out xcb_ungrab_pointer() so on 
running you should have to reboot since grab pointer aint letting go :) 
Unless you caught that mistake before your test. Was one of the reasons 
I was never so happy to reboot on XGrabPointer().
