I dislike X11 proto mouse and keyboard global grabs too. It's like old
Win 3.11 cooperative multitasking. If an app behaves wrong it could
freeze all desktop. X11 focus policy could lead to problems too. 

As you know it's scancode->keycode->keysym binding as it works in X11.
If we could use unbound 0-8 keycodes it will work not depending on your
special keyboard. But I must test it first.
