I need some help with XSendEvent. What I am doing is the following.

I want to unmap a window on a KeyPress event, so I dont look at the
rest of the event structure. I want this event to be generated by
another client, so I call XSendEvent with

send_event.xany.window = window;
send_event.xany.display = display;
send_event.xany.type = KeyPress;
XSendEvent(display,window,False,KeyPress,&send_event);

I am trying this first by making the client send a KeyPress event to
itself. The call to XSendEvent returns 1, but no event is sent.

I am printing the event type immediately after the XNextEvent.

The questions are;

a. Must the window be either of PointerWindow or InputFocus?

b. Does the server look at the event structure in the call?

c. What is a clean way to communicate to the other client, the display
and window parameters? I am using sockets.

d. Possible solutions to my problem?

thanx in advance,

sanjeev.
