I have built a `confine' widget for the Xtoolkit which is an InputOnly window which grabs the pointer when it is mapped and ungrabs the pointer when it is unmapped. This all works fine except for the interaction with the window manager. When the InputOnly window gets a MapNotify event and tries to grab the pointer it gets a GrabNotViewable error because the map on the parent window has been redirected to the window manager who has not yet mapped the window (I think this is what is happening). My question is: Is there any way to get an event for an InputOnly window when it is actually viewable (at least as far as GrabPointer is concerned)?
