Grabbing, combined with widening the empty space between my HotDraw
drawing and the edge of its containing window to 10 pixels, gives me
better feedback when moving across or clicking on any VW window, and
seems to take care of most of the problem.
However, grabbing the mouse still doesn't give me events outside any VW
window (like moving across or clicking on the desktop), at least not in
VW 7.6 on Win XP. So while a click on some VW widget outside my drawing
will cancel the drawing's grab, clicking on a non-VW surface does not.
Bummer.

Perfect, thanks. Too bad the simplest solutions are always the last ones
you think of...
