Since this apparently didn't make it out last time, I'm going to try to
send it out again.  I apoligize in advance if it actually did make it
out.

I don't know how many of you have see the programs ?neko, but I am
currently running oneko, it puts a cute little cat up on the screen
which chases your mouse around.
I would like to change the code -- I'd like to make it so that events
which occur in the cat window are passed directly through to whatever
window is directly underneath the cat window.  Currently mouse clicks
act as though they are root windows clicks and keys just disappear.
Any suggestions on how this could be done?

Just as a point, it's written in pure xlib, and I don't want to add a
toolkit on top.
