Well, if the xf86misc API for that is gone, we should at least not whine
about it.  Attached patch should suppress the missing extension warning.

In the absence of API to control Allow{Deactivate,Closedown}Grabs from
the client side, I suggest we should take those options out of the
config file entirely.  Input people, any opinions?
