GNOME Assistive Technologies need to be able to synthesize mouse events.
Use cases:
* Perform a mouse button click for users who cannot use a physical mouse
* Route the mouse pointer to an object or element to trigger its hover
action
The Orca screen reader currently provides these commands via calls to
AT-SPI2's atspi_generate_mouse_event() which in turn calls
spi_dec_x11_generate_mouse_event() [1]. The equivalent functionality is
needed for Wayland environments.
How are we going to accomplish this?
