I know it breaks XAllowEvents() -- I was hoping this wouldn't be a
problem.  Yes, we die() here in the above, yes it ungrabs, but it
litters my screen with popup windows now, unsurprisingly.  (I had
already tested this.)

Nope -- very much greater than zero.   :)

Marc,  ten to one this is going to be a Debian/Ubuntu issue *yet*
again (I see this annoyance crop up with other open source projects
I'm involved with -- c.f. your own FAQ entry on this :P).  urxvt is
most likely linked against libxcb (my copy here is -- even though I
built from CVS of course) whose APIs are in an extreme state of flux
of course.

I will look through their Changelogs to see what happened -- they've
clearly messed something up.

Sorry for the noise.
