Sorry, I forgot to cancel that.

Turned out that gtk raises a flag on crossing (as caused by the replay) and ignores the next motion event completely (replayed or not)

As by replaying every motion event is the "first" motion event and gtk also completely ignores wheel buttons no event processing takes place in the client (despite it receives all of them)

There was also https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71762 about the inabilty to separate between XINotifyPassiveUnGrab and XINotifyUnGrab

Cheers and thanks for some more details,
