[Bug 656503] [NEW] event dispatch can hang under some circumstances

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Stephen M. Webb (bregma):

Geis event dispatching can hang with high cpu usage under some
circumstances.

Specifically, if a gesture event callback contains the following
sequence

  system("xdotool getactivewindow key x");

the X server sends an XCB_UNGRAB_KEY event, which sends the event
dispatch into an infinite loop.
