Actually, X has a XGrabKey() function that actually grabs keystrokes and
sends it to the specified window.
This actually just grabs a key combination (keystroke + modifiers) and sends
it to the specified window regardless of focus. This would be quite useful,
and pretty easy to emulate in Microwindows.
