Is it possible to simulate pressing and/or releasing any of the mouse
button keys via the keyboard in such a way that it is transparent to
all X applications currently running?  For example, I want to be able
to press a key on the keyboard, and have the application window
underneath the mouse pointer receive a ButtonPress event.  I heard
that it may be possible via xmodmap, but the man pages don't mention
anything about it.

Thanks in advance,
Matt
