x2x does XGrabPointer and XGrabKeyboard on the "from" display in order to 
redirect the mouse and keybaord events to the "to" display (it uses XunGrab 
to stop the redirection).  Does MS-Windows have an equivalent function?  If 
so, I could patch x2x to also do an MS-Windows grab.

Come to think of it, would it not be a good idea to change the XGrab 
procedures themselves to also do an MS-Windows grab when XWin is running in 
rootless or pseudo-rootless mode?
