Description Cosimo Cecchi 2008-08-31 23:23:00 UTC 
Sometimes (e.g. in bug-buddy) you want to use gdk_x11_ungrab_server () to release any grab that a crashed application might have had while crashing.
Right now if there are no grabs, it throws out a critical message.
This isn't convenient and it would be harmless if gdk_x11_display_ungrab () simply returned when grab_count == 0.
Comment 1 Cosimo Cecchi 2008-09-01 13:17:16 UTC 
Hmm, maybe this wouldn't be that useful as it seems that the grab count is internal to Gdk and isn't synced with the X grabs coming from outside Gdk (correct me if I'm wrong).
Comment 2 Cosimo Cecchi 2009-10-12 13:44:13 UTC 
Thinking again about it, this does not make sense.
