RE: Help with XSendEvent

Problem: I am listening for certain asynchronous events on a network.  When
I get one, I want to notify an X client application that I have received
this network event, so that application can grab it in its main event loop.

Although I am pretty good at graphics in X, I cannot seem to get XSendEvent
to successfully send a message to the other application (or the other
application to see it?).

So my question is, if you have a code fragment that shows how to use 
XSendEvent and the corresponding way the other client must receive the message
I would love to have a look at it. You would be helping X to take hold in
Bell Atlantic.   

Thanks a million.
