I have seen X servers that neglect to mark events as synthetic if you
do an XSendEvent w/o setting the synthetic field to be true.


That's a pretty crippling security bug.  Which server(s)?  I want to
stay as far away from them as possible - not only are they grossly
insecure, but who knows what else they got wrong.
