------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-04-12 15:01 ------- Michel, Thanks for the additional comments (keep them coming ;-). I had looked a little, but I guess I was somewhat confused. (I'll explain my confusion at the end of this "post".) In any case, I'm willing to look further. What is an X extension? I guess that's not a standalone X client or porgram? Is it C code (i.e., a library) or similar that I can use to write a program? Would that be attached to the X server or would what I write become another X client? I'm going to send a post to the mail list asking for some guidance on how to dig into the X documentation -- a general question and some specific questions -- I thought about putting it here, but it would be somewhat hidden and may have more general appeal than to just people interested in following this bug. Back to my confusion about Xtest: I had looked at these four pages: * http://www.handhelds.org:8080/wiki/XTest * http://www.handhelds.org:8080/wiki/XTestFakeKeyEvent * http://www.handhelds.org:8080/wiki/XSendEvent * http://www.handhelds.org:8080/wiki/GeneratingSyntheticEvents (Now looking at the URLs, I realize they may not be authoritative, but maybe everything they say is correct. I was probably confused by two things: * the "label" on the event "is a method for generating fake keyboard events: XTestFakeKeyEvent" (but of course, it does not say that the fake events can be recognized as fake, and on another page Jim Gettys does say "The XTest extension allows an application to synthesize input indistinguishable from real input") -- so, maybe there is no problem here * from my investigations and trials with gtkeyboard, I was led to believe that for gtkeyboard (an x client) to send events to another x client (my target "current" application), the current application had to "allow" SendEvents. And it appears (because gtkeyboard didn't work with them), that some of the applications I want to use have taken steps to avoid "receiving" SendEvents. Note that my terminology may be "incorrect" because I really don't know what I'm talking about -- I'm just trying to stumble through this somehow. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
