The mouse grabbing stuff needs to go away. Sorry for not having tracked 
commits to qxembed lately.

I still have plans to commit a full implementaiton of the latest spec, but the 
old one at least should work.

Mouse grabbing to track focus should not be necessary. That used to work. 
There is XEMBED_REQUEST_FOCUS, if the embedded app does not support it, you 
can find workarounds. But those should *not* be for all qxembed clients, but 
only for non-xembed clients like Java applets.

Please don't mess up qxembed for java. Rather make a subclass of it that does 
evil grabbing stuff if that's necessary.
