simulating a mouseover

[John Russell]

This question is not actually about openbox, but there was a good
conversation on this list a few weeks ago about automating windowing
tasks with devilspie, wmctrl, xprop, etc. I thought someone might know
this.

I have a Java IM client (Jbuddy) that is the best alternative to
sametime which is my company's corperate IM standard.  This client
sets my state to idle if I am inactive for more than 15 minutes,
however it doesn't measure activity by X usage, but by the last time
my mouse went over the main IM window.... groan.  So If I am working
for a while with this window burried or minimized or something, I am
now idle and everyone assumes I'm not there.

My question is, does anyone know a command that would simulate a
mouseover event?  I wanted to run it in a cron job or something, every
10-15 minutes just to give this thing a prod.  I tried wmctrl -R to
activate the window but that wasn't enough.  The only thing that works
so far is to just run my mouse over the IM window.

Any suggestions?  Thanks for the help.
