With XInput2 it's possible that multiple pairs of keyboard and pointers
are connected. As the lock screen only grabbed keyboard and pointer using
the core protocol any additional input devices were still reporting
input events to non-lockscreen windows creating the risk of interaction
with the system and accidentially typing a password where it doesn't
belong.
This change ensures that all additional master devices are also grabbed.
Unfortunately there are no xcb bindings for xinput2 (considered
experimental and thus not build on at least all debian based distros)
and because of that the XLib library is used. This brings some problems
as we cannot process the events (for that we would need xcb bindings,
to get the events). To still be able to get any keyboard and mouse events
we grab using the core protocol as it used to be and then ignore the
"Virtual core" devices and don't grab them with XInput2. Input events
from additional devices are grabbed and ignored, but definately no longer
delivered to other windows.
