Okay nearly there.. I was able to get the pid of some windows (namely, xterm), but when I tried it on chrome or nedit, getproperty returns with nitems == 0. Is there a reason why, and would there be workarounds for this? I just need a way to identify a window as "xterm", or "nedit" or "chrome".<div> </div><div>My nedit windows, right now, don't have "nedit" as title. Then again I guess I could make it so it does, but that seems like a "hacky" solution.. <div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Mar 7, 2010 at 12:26 AM, Terry Barnaby <<a href="mailto:terry1@beam.ltd.uk">terry1@beam.ltd.uk</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">It would be worthwhile looking at the XRecord extension. <a href="http://www.xfree86.org/current/recordlib.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.xfree86.org/current/recordlib.pdf</a> This is designed to record all XEvents as well as XRequests.

I mean, looking at keysymdef.h there seems to be 2300 of them. Is there an X function to return the string of the name, or should I just go ahead and convert all those #defines into a switch statement?

Will be taking a look at that. As for intercepting keyboards, I've hacked up something that uses XQueryKeymap, and it seems to be working pretty well. Now only for mouse movement detection (for idling check) Cheers p.s is making a keylogger meant to be this easy?
