Comment 44 for bug 49579

Do you have a pointer to an explanation of this “inherent issue” and why it’s impossible to solve?

What I don’t understand, in particular, is _why_ GTK menus need to grab the mouse and keyboard in the first place. (But if this is an absolute requirement, surely the GTK developers can work with the X developers to come up with a new type of grab that’s cancelable by global shortcut keys and by the screensaver.)
