How to force mouse ungrab?

So, I'm trying to debug an openGL application that grabs the mouse, but when it hits the breakpoint, it does not release the mouse, even when I alt tab. This same behavior can be had from video games that grab the mouse, and then freeze. The mouse is freed upon closing the program, but for debugging, that's not desirable. I'm running pretty standard xubuntu, and have tried 'xdotool key XF86Ungrab' already, with no success.

Edit: nvm, I just need to run 'setxkbmap -option grab:break_actions' before trying to force the ungrab, carry on.
