Behaviour of earlier X servers was to deliver the ButtonPress event
unconditionally, regardless of the actual event mask being set. Thus, a
GrabButton event will always deliver the button press event, a GrabKey
always the key press event, etc. Same goes for XI and XI2.
Reproducible with a simple client requesting a button grab in the form of:
XGrabButton(dpy, AnyButton, AnyModifier, win, True, ButtonReleaseMask,
GrabModeAsync, GrabModeAsync, None, None);
On servers before MPX/XI2, the client will receive a button press and
release event. On current servers, the client receives only the release.
Clients that expect the press event to be delivered unconditionally may
leave the user with a stuck grab.
XTS test results for XGrabButton are identical with and without this patch.
This reverts commit 48585bd1e3.
