Some more information, but I am not sure what it means...

I have written a rudimentary testbed program to emulate the operation
of the colour chooser thing and it works in both qt4 and gtk modes.
What it does:

1. Take a screenshot of the area around the mouse to prove that screenshots work
2. Click to grab the mouse cursor and track its movement, proving that
I can track it and display a zoomed area around the mouse as it is
dragged across the screen.
3. Proof that the grabbed keyboard/mouse are correctly released when
the mouse button is released.

What it doesn't do yet is the vast amount of housework needed to
update colour values and colour maps but I will be adding that bit by
bit.

The other thing it doesn't yet do is copy the method of the colour
chooser thing in releasing the mouse and keyboard. I haven't yet
identified the ways of doing this and on investigation it seems that I
was just lucky when my test program met conditions which forced the
Grab to un-grab.
