Thanks for your hint, now I am a little bit further. I am using now ..

kapp->installX11EventFilter( this );
 XGrabButton(qt_xdisplay(), 1 /*AnyButton*/, 24 /*AnyModifier*/,
 			 qt_xrootwin(),  true, ButtonPressMask, GrabModeAsync,
               		GrabModeAsync, None, None );
    
and I get indeed the events regardsless where I am klicking at AND without 
blocking other applications.
