Trying to click on spice-gtk window while in server mode should result in a pointer grab. This is currently failing, with the cursor wrapping to the top left corner of the window instead without being grabbed. This is caused by our use of gtk_event_box_set_above_child(), when clicking on the SpiceWidget, the grab is implicitly taken by the window which is above the event box (which is an internal GtkEventBox input-only GdkWindow). Then when we call gdk_pointer_grab() on the GtkEventBox::window, we get a grab-broken event indicating the grab was transferred from the internal input-only window to GtkEventBox::window (see gtk+ bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769635#c2 for a detailed explanation). This commit ignores grab-broken events when the GdkWindow who got the grab corresponds to the one we called gdk_pointer_grab() on. An alternative would be to call gdk_pointer_grab() on the GdkWindow which received the button-press-event, but the call chain between button_event() and the eventual gdk_pointer_grab() call, so it would be not so elegant to pass the correct GdkWindow all the way. --- Changes since v1: Rework commit log/code comment following garnacho's input in the gtk+ bug.
