I've just written a GrSelectGlobalEvent() (anyone have a better name
suggestion? It does the same as GsSelectEvent(), but for selects the event
for all windows, whether they belong to the current client or not), and
ran into some problems because of this.
It turns out that there _IS_ a difference between keyboard and mouse focus
in NanoX. Actually, "Focus" in Nano-X is given to the window, or
the closest ancestor of the window the pointer enters that accept keypress
events. So focus-in events are only ever sent to windows that accept
keypresses.
