In i3wm + xfce4 setup, when multiple frames opened, switch between frames
using only keyboard, and leave the mouse as:

This will make the ~emacsclient -e '(selected-frame)'~ returns wrong frame, due to
XInput2 sends a ~NotifyGrab~ with the unfocused frame, making Emacs selects it.

We've make a small but ugly changes to fix this issue:

#+begin_src
diff --git a/src/xterm.c b/src/xterm.c
index 9ecead03b0..d4836afeeb 100644
--- a/src/xterm.c

   if (!device)
     return;

+    if (event->mode == XINotifyGrab || event->mode == XINotifyUngrab)
+      return;

   switch (event->evtype)
     {
     case XI_FocusIn:
#+end_src

Wonder if we're correct?

Yours sincerely,
