[Bug-xnee] replicated event is ahead of the application

for example i've recorded the ff events :

   i've pressed a button using a touch panel.
   and that button launched another button on 
   the other side of the screen after 5 seconds.



so when i've replayed it:

   the first button was pressed but in less than a second,
   the cursor goes to the other side of the screen, supposedly 
   pressing a button but the button will only surfaced after 
   4 more seconds. thus the event that i've recorded wasn't replicated.



is there anyway xnee can sync with the system clock?
to what, xnee is being sync anyway?
    

i've already remedied my problem. what i did was 
to replay dummy events (keyboard event, which has 
no effect on the GUI as it only accepts inputs
from the Touch panel) while i'm recording so that
when replayed, the event woudln't be ahead of the 
application because it is busy replicating the 
keyboard event every second(?) .


is there any other way of having the same results properly?
