I have thought about this in the past, but dismissed the idea for 
various reasons (mentioned here: 
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.games.devel.pipmak.user/103). Mainly 
because it seems an unnecessary complication to me.

As to the "control over grabbing" issue, I would still prefer to fix the 
problem instead of making far-reaching decisions in an attempt to work 
around it.
