I believe it would be preferable to put xdotool in the AppVM and
invoke it via qrexec rather than allowing AppVMs to trigger the
generation of events directly in dom0 (which is inherently more
trusted).

Even if one uses --window in dom0 to (hopefully) restrict the handling
of said events to only the intended window, untrusted event handling
in dom0 in general is an attack surface which can be avoided, and IMO
should be.
