[Xevie] XevieSendEvent events not received

Hi,

I'm having trouble sending modified/synthetic events using XevieSendEvent...
The events do not seem to be "arriving" (I have tested this using xev).

Here's a part of my code:

XWindowHit hit = findXWindowAt((int) objCoords.x, (int) objCoords.y);
#ifdef VERBOSE
        if (hit.window != None)
                cout << "Found X window at click location!" << endl;
#endif
        
        if (hit.window != None)
        {
                XButtonEvent changedEvent = event;
                changedEvent.window = hit.window;
                changedEvent.x = hit.relX;
                changedEvent.y = hit.relY;
                XevieSendEvent(Settings::getDisplay(),
reinterpret_cast<XEvent*>(&changedEvent), XEVIE_MODIFIED);
                //XSendEvent(Settings::getDisplay(), hit.window, true,  
NoEventMask,
reinterpret_cast<XEvent*>(&changedEvent));
        }

I do not get any xlib errors concerning the XevieSendEvent request.  
"event" is the original buttonpress event
captured through Xevie. If I use the XSendEvent statement instead of the
XevieSendEvent one, the events do arrive (but with the synthetic flag of
course).

Most likely I don't understand enough of how Xevie works... What fields of the
event structure are filled in automatically by the server after sending them
and which ones do I need to supply? And what exactly am I doing wrong? I am
running Ubuntu Edgy and my app is running under Xgl.

Thanks,
Heinrich
