Describe the bug

Paperwm crashes with "Could not grab modal" and I have to restart gnome shell in order to switch between windows.

Here's the top lines from journalctl --user after the crash:

To Reproduce

I don't have a reliable way to cause this crash, but I have seen it repeatedly when all I have open is some alacritty windows, probably fullscreen, and am switching back and forth between them using paperwm hotkeys.

Distribution: Debian GNU/Linux
