Because then the grab spawns over the managed client window as well. This way
the WM can detect button clicks over the entire area. I need this for the normal
activation in click-to-focus mode when the window is inactive, or for
additional shortcuts like Alt-RMB to resize, Alt-LMB to move, Alt-MMB to
raise/lower etc.

For simplicity, kwin has an extra decoration window just around the managed
client window, with the same size.

Ok, I'll do that then. If the Motif users get into trouble, I'll redirect them
to you, the Open Group or the X-Server vendors ;-)
