Not in e16 < 0.16.8. I had to try it out, so 0.16.8 now has a
"no_button_grabs" window op. You can either set it via eesh, e.g.
$ eesh wop <window name> no_button_grabs on
or it can be be set via window matches in matches.cfg.
This way all buttons bindings can be either enabled or disabled for
particular windows. Doing it selectively for particular grabs, e.g.
alt-left-click, requires a lot more coding, and I'm not sure it is
that useful.

Errh - The Source :) E16 is not too well documented, unfortunately.
