Ctrl-Alt-Home disables the mouse, once it move into the xdosemu window. But the KDE keybindings are still in effect.

Does Ctrl-Alt-Home work any better if you first change the
#undef ENABLE_KEYBOARD_GRAB
to
#define ENABLE_KEYBOARD_GRAB 1 in X.c of dosemu sources and recompile?

Another thing to try is Ctrl-Alt-f which will make dosemu to enter fullscreen mode, where the KDE keybindings should not be in effect (no KDE here to try myself, sorry).

Just tried that for you with 1.2.2 sources. I reset KDE to use Alt-F4 to close a window (KDE default). With the above change to X.c, and recompiling, Ctrl-Alt-Home disables the mouse and all KDE keybindings successfully.

When I do this, KDE keybindings are disabled successfully, and, unlike the other approach, the I can still use the mouse in that xdosemu session.
