First, I have to say that's a pretty weird thing to do, but I'll give you
the benefit of the doubt that you know what you're doing. :)

Whats wrong?
I guess that's by design. If a click does not touch any interface
element of your application, then the OS sends the event elsewhere
(perhaps to another app's window that is underneath where you clicked).

I don't know. Perhaps you could make a big invisible window that covers
the screen(s) and is below all your other windows. Then, presumably,
that window would get events. I've never tried though.
