Using Xlib to measure productivity (aka time&keypresses spent on a window)

[Yose Widjaja]

Also, while I'm at it.. is there an easy way to print keysyms? 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?
