Bug#563196: libx11-dev: XGrabKey(3) man page refers to XAllowAccess(3) but there is no such function



Package: libx11-dev
Version: 2:1.3.2-1
Severity: minor

The XGrabKey(3) manual page ends with:

SEE ALSO
       XAllowAccess(3), XGrabButton(3), XGrabKeyboard(3), XGrabPointer(3)
       Xlib - C Language X Interface

However, there is no XAllowAccess(3) manual page, and grep -r
XAllowAccess /usr/include/X11 shows the header files don't
declare such a function either.  The XGrabKeyboard(3) page refers
to XAllowEvents(3) instead and I suspect XGrabKey(3) should do
the same.

I zgrepped in /usr/share/man too and XGrabKey.3.gz seems to be
the only occurrence of XAllowAccess.

The bug was reported to FreeBSD already in 2001:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=26090
and the report was going to be forwarded to XFree86, but
it seems safe to assume by now that nothing came of that.
