Xpra: Ticket #2613: register for grab exemption

Keys can't be grabbed under Wayland (needed by remote desktop viewers, virtual machine managers).

Comment 33: With X11 clients, there is a (preconfigured, but changable) white list of clients whos grabs will be granted allowing them to work as intended. See org.gnome.mutter gsettings

Where is this white list?

Asked: Who manages this list and how do we (xpra) get in on it?

Found the magic key in mutter and made a pull request: add 'xpra' to the list of xwayland clients that can do grabs
