Weston crashes when quitting a fullscreen program after pointer confinement has been granted

Hi there,

Using latest Weston git code, I can see that some fullscreen programs like Scummvm can cause Weston to crash if I quit the program after pointer confinement has been granted.

Happens with both the desktop and kiosk shells.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Launch Scummvm (or any other SDL2 program in fullscreen mode that uses mouse).
  • Double-click on a game's video display area so it gets pointer confinement (ugh...)
  • Quit the program via CTRL+Q

You will see Weston crash and be back to the TTY.
