    x11: specify event mask for buttons when grabbing pointer (thanks, Stas!).
    
    This fixes a strange corner case (notes appended below), and should be
    safe to do anyhow.
    
    Fixes Bugzilla #3674.
    
    "I did more tests.
    It appears the bug only happens if there is
    another window on the screen that has "always
    on top" property. For me it is xawtv - it is
    always opened in a screen corner. Closing
    xawtv or removing "always on top" property
    from it makes the problem to go away.
    Plus, it doesn't appear like the buttons are
    not delivered at all. It appears that instead
    the button presses are delivered on some mouse
    positions, but not delivered when you move the
    mouse to other part of the window... So this is
    really weird and is likely somewhere deep in the
    Xorg.
    Maybe somehow it happens that the cursor is
    actually above the xawtv window, but, because
    my app uses grab, it is not visible there, and
    in that case the events are not delivered to
    my app?
    But with my patch the button events are
    always delivered flawlessly, it seems.
    
    Hmm, and that indeed seems to explain my problem:
    if the mask is set properly and my app uses
    grab, then, even if the mouse is above some
    other window, the events would still be delivered
    to the grabbing app, which is what actually wanted
    because my app uses relative mouse mode, so it
    doesn't know the pointer can cross some other window
    (my app draws the pointer itself).
    So my current theory is that my patch only enforces
    the mouse grab, which otherwise can be tricked by
    some other window preventing the button events
    delivery (but motion events are still delivered
    via xinput2, which makes it all look very obscure)."
