I've an XP virtual machine in VirtualBox on my Linux laptop. For a
number of reasons, I can't change the screensaver config within XP, so
it keeps popping up after XX minutes of inactivity.
I'm currently trying to figure out if there's a way to send trivial
no-op user interface events ("mouse has moved 1 px up and back", "CTRL
key has been pressed/depressed") through VirtualBox to the guest, but in
case that doesn't work they way I hope it does - is there a way to
programatically generate such events and attach them to a window in X
Windows?
