Description Oswald Buddenhagen 2007-12-15 11:15:39 UTC 
when a pointer or mouse (or both? dunno) grab is attempted while the server is not in the foreground, the grab fails.

I just tried on a plain X server running xterm and a simple app that grabs pointer and keyboard. couldn't reproduce it though. 

Do you have a simple testcase?
