Comment:

 I've been trying to get an understanding of this:

 http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg/2012-November/055070.html

 But I think I have not managed to communicate the problem well enough, and
 I don't have enough X knowledge to clearly understand the responses.

 My next steps were to write a GTK+ app to show the behaviour that closing
 one window would activate hover on a widget in the window below. i.e. an
 app opens two windows, one on top of the other. The bottom window has a
 widget that provides a clear visual response when the mouse is hovering
 over it. The top window has a button, when clicked the window is hidden.
 Here is my start: http://dev.laptop.org/~dsd/20121127/test.c

 That would then have to be ported to Xlib to provide a really good test
 case for Peter H.

 Or maybe Carlos will take a more direct approach to investigating/fixing
 with his good X knowledge.
