Henrik Sandklef <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: Xnee
System name: xnee
Type: GNU

Description:
Xnee can record, distribute and replay X (X11) protocol data. This is useful 
for automated tests of applications or benchmarking of applications. ...think 
of it as a robot.

 In order to verify that a program does the job it\'s supposed to do, certain 
tests have to be made. These tests are, IMHO, perhaps the emost boring things a 
programmer can do. To release the programmer, who is hopefully writing free 
software instead, from this burdon Xnee is being made.

With xnee the testcase(s) can be recorded and later on replayed.
Xnee can also distribute events (both when recording and replaying) to other 
displays.


Xnee receives X11 protocol data (e g XEvents) from an X server and prints them 
to a file (or stdout). By recording events such as MapNotify, the replaying of 
events can be synchronised. This is not only useful but essential. We can not 
replay or regenerate keyboard-events to a window before it\'s ready to 
\"receive\" events. By recording events and requests synchronisation can be 
implemented.
