[Haskell-cafe] ANN: Robot - Simulate keyboard and mouse events under X11

[Niklas Hambüchen]

Yes, that works now.

I have another problem though: I move the cursor at high resolution 
(128 Hz) and it seems that when robot issues a command to X, it 
disables (keyboard) state so far. This means that it's impossible for 
me to Ctrl-C my program: Only "c" is sent all the time, me pressing 
Ctrl seems to be reset with the next robot event.
