Thanks, jmarsden. OK, I did the following:
$ xwininfo -root
xwininfo: Window id: 0xbb (the root window) (has no name)
[...]
$ xev -id 0xbb
[...]
[ Type "lxpanelctl run" in another terminal ]
ClientMessage event, serial 16, synthetic YES, window 0xbb,
message_type 0x1dd (_LXPANEL_CMD), format 8
[...]
This means, the X event "_LXPANEL_CMD" is indeed sent by lxpanelctl and
received by the root window.
However,
$ xwininfo
xwininfo: Please select the window about which you
would like information by clicking the
mouse in that window.
[ Mouse Click on the lxpanel ]
xwininfo: Window id: 0x120001f "panel"
[...]
$ xev -id 0x120001f
[ Type "lxpanelctl run" in another terminal ]
[ No further output ]
This means, the X event never reaches the lxpanel.
I suppose, there is a configuration file somewhere defining which events are
hand on to which windows. Can anyone give a hint?
(Or am I totally on the wrong path? I do not have any experience with debugging
X / window managers etc. Maybe I should inspect something else... Any
suggestions?)
