I'm not sure about that. MappingNotify is supposed to be sent to every 
client, so this is not wrong. What's strange, however, is that the server 
thinks the client has done (invalid) ChangeProperty:s. Or, the problem is 
that the MappingNotify:s are garbled.

Sorry, fixed now.

I haven't tried xscope, but perhaps someone else have tried them both. 
Wireshark in general is very nice. Unfortunately, MappingNotify seems to 
be one of the few events that are not decoded.
