Can't paste text or type blind keys when mouse is out of the window

Hi,

when xterm has keyboard focus, but mouse pointer is outside of the window (or
even on Window's blue title bar):


- all blind keys are ignored:

  o  instead of 'à' (key '`' then 'a') you get just a normal 'a'

  o  can't type '^' character (on a German keyboard done with blind '^' key then space)
     -> you will just get the space instead

  o  same with '`' or '´': all blind keys are affected

- can't paste text with the mouse

- all other keys work as expected


Effect:

- While working and not noticing that the mouse pointer slowly left the window,
  in vi you want to jump to mark a (typing `a).
  '`' is ignored and the 'a' brings vi into append mode!

- typing something like ":%s/^xxx/yyy/" is annoying, because you can't type ^,
  until you reposition the mouse pointer inside the window


100 % reproducable.

When the mouse pointer is inside the xterm, everything works fine:
you get à or ^ and can paste text.

It makes no difference whether I use XWin.20110803-git-a493c0465e56ce0b or
XWin.exe from the release.


Logs of xev and XWin.log (with -logverbose 3) are in the attachment.

The XWin.logs are the same regardless if mouse is inside or outside,
but I notice a small difference in xev's output.


Thanks & regards,
  Paul
