Hi, I recall there is a way to check the `hint' on the motion notify
event, but as I recall Xlib has a rule of keep reporting MotionNotify
under that situation.

I recall using XUngrabPointer() for my own widget set I made a few years
ago. So for GTK I would use GDK's gdk_pointer_ungrab()...

I don't know if it will work but when you check that a
motion_notify event was recieved and the bounds are out side of the 
widget or window then call gdk_pointer_ungrab(), hope that works! *G*
