+-grab_buster Some of the use of the RECORD extension can leave a
+-nograb_buster tiny window for XGrabServer deadlock. This is only if
+ the whole-server grabbing application expects mouse
+ or keyboard input before releasing the grab. It is
+ usually a window manager that does this. x11vnc takes
+ care to avoid the the problem, but if caught x11vnc
+ will freeze. Without -grab_buster, the only solution
+ is to go the physical display and give it some input
+ to satisfy the grabbing app. Or manually kill and
+ restart the window manager. With -grab_buster, x11vnc
+ will fork a helper thread and if x11vnc appears to be
+ stuck in a grab after a period of time (20-30 sec)
+ then it will inject some user input: button clicks,
+ Escape, mouse motion, etc to try to break the grab.
