Subject: Can I use xevie to send fake input?

I know this isn't what xevie was made for, but I am running out of options. 

I need to send fake events to X Clients. I can not use XSend because
it marks the event as synthetic and some toolkits chose to ignore
synthetic events.

I am attempting to allow a user of the Xdmx program to send input to
backend clients. I have already solved the problem of backend output.

Secondly I can not use the XTest extension because if the backend
server the client is being run on is also being used by Xdmx for input
I will end up with an infinite loop (The input proxy reads the event
from the DMX server, then sends the input to the backend server, the
DMX server reads the input from the backend server and sends another
event to the proxy and it continues forever...).

I need a way to send input to a specific window/X Client without
allowing Xdmx to read the input and without it being marked as
synthetic.

After many long hours of trying various things and searching the
internet I have found information on the Xevie extension.

I know XEvie can be used to intercept events and modify them, but can
it also be used to create new events (ig to send fake, non synthetic
events to the server)?

I am still in the concept state for the input componet of my project,
so if you feel there is something else I could do I am open to
suggestions.

Thank you for your time,
James Steven Supancic III
