This is one more thing that needs > fixing before XI2 actually comes out. Sounds in a way more feasible to me than hacking around with uinput. And x11vnc is doing it via XTEST as well. Okay, i can only submit key/button presses and motion events, but I can't get any more over the wire with RFB anyway.

Tried this few minutes ago and it was surprisingly easy. So i have to to take back my remarks on XTEST in a way. The only thing I don't like is that my app then needs root privs...
