Doesn't X11 already have something for this?

E.g., when I have to enter a PGP key on my desktop a GUI window pops up. It takes focus and NOTHING else can get focus from it. Anything I type can only go to that window and nothing else.

I assume the window is from seahorse, and I assume this is thanks to the X11 Security extension. I can't easily check the process as I can't mouse over to a terminal, cause of the focus lock. Not even the X server "change to console" key combo works at this point. The X11 Security extension allows applications to be "untrusted", but I don't know exactly how this is setup to make it so this password window is trusted and everything else is not. ??
