If a client issues a grab on the pointer while the cursor is on another
X11 window, and then hides the cursor, we may end up locking the pointer
onto that other window.

Then a button click might end up moving the focus away from the window
which issued the grab, leaving the whole setup in a mixed up state.

Typically, if the pointer is on another X11 window, we should not try to
lock the pointer, so that it can be moved back to the window which
actually issues the grab (and hence the pointer confinement). Typically,
this is the same as an X11 client issuing a pointer grab while the
cursor is on another Wayland native window.

X Server

The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.

Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.

For a comprehensive overview of X Server and X Window System, consult the following article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_server
