I wouldn't separate these two for usability reasons.  Input (both kbd
and mouse) should either be grabbed or not grabbed (and the grab state
should be clear to the user, but that isn't the job of the widget but
the using apps I guess).

You probably want to allow different events trigger the input grab though.

One of the obvious reasons for that is that there is one "release grab"
hotkey only.
