I think that the current API makes a lot of sense since it keeps
the related functions together visually as well as when sorting
them:

GdkGrabStatus gdk_pointer_grab       (GdkWindow    *window,
void          gdk_pointer_ungrab     (guint32       time);
gboolean      gdk_pointer_is_grabbed (void);

GdkGrabStatus gdk_keyboard_grab      (GdkWindow    *window,
void          gdk_keyboard_ungrab    (guint32       time);

you might be right that it fits better but then I've never liked the
current scheme that much.
