After a lot of going back and forth between X servers with or without
the patch, I think this particular issue might be gone (but I do have to
admit that I forgot what under exactly what circumstances this
happened).  In either case, I can pretty easily back myself into a
corner where gtk2 apps don't receive any emulated pointer events when
there's a touch grab that rejects touches.  The problem is, of course,
that I don't have any reproducible test cases.
