I am writing a visual keyboard ("viki")  for KDE[1]. Viki is expected to be a 
complete KDE application. When Viki starts and so has focus, the user 
point's'clicks to select a "target" application window such as KWord. The 
user then gets to click on KPushButtons which mimic the real keyboard keys 
but actually deliver events to the target application using XTest's 
XTestFakeKeyEvent().

FWIW, I am running Mandrake 9.1 with KDE 3.1.3. I note your bugfixes in this 
area announced in this week's KDE CVS digest - might this problem be fixed in 
KDE HEAD?

Might there be a workaround for KDE 3.1.3?

Thanks, Shaheed
