Well, from one "incurable vi loser" to another, I think not doing the mouse stuff is a big handicap. With X, you should get focus notification events and/or enter/leave notify events and be able to deal with then as needed. The issue of using it as an input device without grabbing the mouse should be fairly easy, as there is already a working example of this type of usage for control in cbzone (the Battle Zone clone).
