In gnome-screensaver this is used to ensure that the
AllowDeactivateGrabs and AllowClosedownGrabs Xorg options do not allow
to ungrab the keys in the screensaver case.

When you remove the extension, could you ensure that, at the very least,
the documentation mentions the security risks of using these options?

Otherwise, I think we can just disable the build-dependency and it will
be fine.

Thanks,
