Hi all,
Is there any other event viewer available to see events propagated for widget.
I tried using xev -id but it just does not fit my purpose. I need sonething that will show me all the events on a widget, not just the ones I have a callback on.
Thanks
You could try xmon, but that would probably dump
too much data to be useful as xev does.
You might also try coding your own event handler
for the widget, but other than that, it sounds
like a good idea for a diagnostic tool to be
built.
If I had more time, or was able to shift
priorities around, I would whip something up.
(Hint squeaky wheels get the oil...)
Anyone else on this list have ideas?

If you are looking for "events" in the sense of
"X events", then you can use a protocol analyzer such as xscope or xmon/xmonui.
But if you are looking for "events" in the sense of "happenings", then you are probably most interested in geometry changes and other occurrences that result in X calls (XResizeWindow etc.). In that case, you can link with libXtGeo, which Daniel Dardailler constructed so as to allow you to track those occurrences. This library was last seen on ftp.x.org; I don`t believe that it has been updated to X11R6, but the changes are not significant.
