That's somewhat besides the point. The point is that the server has
absolutely no control over this functionality. Anyone who actually
knows and understands X11 (and not some uncounted number of people in
some mysterious forums) will know that.

If someone believes otherwise, they are free to download the source to
the Xorg server, make whatever the change they believe will adjust
that behavior, and prove everyone else wrong.
