It's possible to restrict a pointer to a given window when it's 
grabbed. But the application itself should then grab the pointer 
to get the events; forwarding is too cumbersome. I know of no 
other clean way. Maybe a poll-and-warp hack could be implemented 
as an external program, but it's very ugly.
