Re: Any way to capture keyboard/mouse in an extension?

["Jasper St. Pierre" <jstpierre mecheye net>]

I started to code up some patches for the functionality at:

    https://github.com/magcius/mutter/tree/grabs

I'm not sure how to proceed further -- I'll converse with coworkers in
the morning, but in order to give something to hand to gjs so you guys
can play around with it, I'd need a GDK event, but our only hook into
GDK is an event filter, which is before the GDK event is filled in.
