1. Run: `emacs -Q` on an X11 display for a binary that's been built
with (the default) `--with-xinput2`
2. From another program, trigger an XSendEvent targeting the above
emacs' window sending a key event.
Expected:
3. The sent key event is seen by emacs.
Actual:
4. Emacs doesn't seem to receive the sent key event.

Simplest way to execute step 2 above is:
$ git clone http://github.com/epitron/xse.git
$ cd xse && ./configure  && xmkmf && make depend && make
$ xwininfo
(click the emacs window and note its reported "Window id" for the next command)
$ ./xse -win <EMACS_WINDOW_ID> -Debug '<Key>l'

When emacs is built with `--without-xinput2` the issue is gone, and
sent events are received properly.
Issue is not present in 27.1 or 28.1, but is present in 29.1 and HEAD.
Confirmed with a git bisect that the issue showed up when xinput2 was
enabled by default in
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=0105a4ddb8a58146f3fc71c265e57291c873af0b

I stumbled across this issue when upgrading from 27.1 to 29.1 and
noticing that ratpoison can no longer send its escape key (in my case,
this is C-a) to emacs, even though it has no problems sending the same
key to every other app on my system.
