    There is an extension to the X server called (I think) Xtrap
    which traps the events and allows you to replay them.
    I'm not sure where to get detailed info on Xtrap (maybe the
    X Consortium or comp.windows.x).

    Digital's DEC/Test Manager V3.n uses this facility - and it works
    very well.
