To be honest, I haven't used Der Mouse's tool much myself. It was
demonstrated to me as a way of "sniffing" say a remote xterm session.
So I doubt it would be much good for what you suggest, since it probably
assumes a well-formed sequence of X events that it can monitor.
Guess you'll have to keep using that hex output from tcpdump... :-)
