Subject: [gentoo-user] Looking for utility to send X low level events

1 I am back to my on-again, off-again task of trying to get firefox to
2 print, this time I have thought of sending a running instance various
3 X events to fake a URL, the print command, print file name, etc. I
4 found a few old and crufty programs to record and playback macros,
5 but they don't work well and haven't been updated in years.

7 Does anyone know of any programs that manipulate X events on a low
8 level? I figure it will need to either record and play back events,
9 or let me describe them in an editable file. I don't know much about
10 the low level X structure, but if there is some way to identify and
11 choose event handlers (main window, popup window, menus, buttons) by
12 name, that would be superb.

14 I don't mind crufty programs as long as they at least work.
