If I had to guess, I would guess that you are sending the events just
fine, but the Xt code is ignoring them.  Your Xlib code for handling
events almost certainly ignores the send_event field, but I think that
unless you specifically direct otherwise, Xt ignores "counterfeit"
keyboard and pointer events.

I don't know how to make Xt listen to synthetic keyboard and pointer
events, but if this is your problem you may be able to find some way
around it.  (I seem to recall that xterm has a resource to control
this, something like a sendEvent resource; perhaps this is actually an
Xt thing instead?)
