gnomecanvasitem evens and (passive?) grab problem (resend)

[marcus rosell delmia se]

Hi.

I have a problem with gnomecanvas (gnome
2.4) and events.

For some reason when a "mouse button
down" event accurse I automatically gets some kind of grab on the
gnomecanvasitem.
I have tried to ungrab it with XUngrabPointer(gdk_display,CurrentTime),
but that didn't work.

How can I change this behaviour?
I want to be able to hold the left mouse
button down and get motion events for every (connected) item i drag the
mouse over.

Can this be done?

Best regards
