[svlug] sending fake UI events to a window in X

[Florin Andrei]

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?
