Yeah, just checked the spec and you're right.  Aside from the two
ErrorFs left in there, it seems like it behaves incorrectly for events
queued while a device is grabbed.  From my reading of the spec, it looks
like a device event should be generated from EnqueueEvent, but not from
ProcessOtherEvent when the device is thawed; delivered events should
still be sent though.

Cheers,
Daniel
