Every time, before you send the input device a fake input event, you are
supposed to re-initialize all fields of the InputEvent structure. Under 1.3
you could get away without doing this. Under 2.0, the ie_Class field gets
trashed.

This has been fixed under more recent releases of 2.0. Consider yourself lucky
this shmuk ran into the problem first.  :-)  :-(
