sorry, my apologies, I was describing an earlier version of this patch.
ProcessRawEvents works like this with this patch:

for all root windows:
   DeliverEventsToWindow(root window[n], NullGrab)
       DeliverEventToClient(NullGrab)
           TryClientEvents(NullGrab)
               grab && !SameClient() is always false
               if not FilterRawEvents()
                   deliver event

And FilterRawEvents() simply checks the device directly for a grab. If the
device is grabbed but not by this client, it only delivers if the client is
2.1.

However, in re-reading this I noticed a different issue in that a
client that has the RawEventMask set in a grab but not in the normal event
mask would not get the events because the wrong event mask is being used.
I'll need to send another version of this patch.

Cheers,
  Peter
