Weird bug when running acme and sam under sxwm. #259

Description

@drkw9

Hi! I don't know why this happens exactly but whenever I try to click any of my mouse buttons (or any buttons) on an acme or sam window under an sxwm session not only do they not respond but they also just spam this error message:

BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)
X error: error_code=10, request_code=2, minor=0 disp=56489ae30ed0

I eventually figured out that this error was trying to tell me that something else was grabbing my button presses and that what's likely devdraw or whatever else handles input on plan9port's acme is clashing with it. I don't have anything running on my computer that could possibly be grabbing my mouse inputs other than sxwm, so I figured if I ran it under Xephyr it would work, and it does!

Running Xephyr :1 -screen 1200x800 & sleep 0.5 && DISPLAY=:1 acme makes it so I can use acme normally, clicking, typing, etc all work fine.

Running Xephyr :1 -screen 1200x800 & sleep 0.5 && DISPLAY=:1 dwm, and then running acme inside dwm has the same effect.

I'm (unfortunately) not well versed enough in X11 sorcery to understand why this is happening or to submit a pull request but I hope this was at least somewhat helpful. I hope I'm reporting this issue to the correct person because I have hit the limit of my understanding.
