Don't we know this? And even if not, is there no way to forward the event to the normal event chain? In Windows there are Hookfunction and at some hooks you can choose to keep the event or continue it's processing. Is there no such thing in X when you grabbed Keys or Pointer?
AFAIR (Alexandre can correct me if I am wrong), this was something we had a long time ago (ie one thread that did all the input for all threads and then re-directed the events to the correct one). And as part of all the memory separation / threading rework, this has been suppressed by the concept of each thread having its own event loop + X connection.
In the X way of things, this could be something done at the WM level (ie say to the WM the we want to have the cursor confined to this window).
