Does X support a global macro keystroke recorder ability
such as Microsoft Windows?

For example, say I want to automatically invoke an X-Window
program, select item x from menu y, popup a screen, do a screendump 
and exit the program.

I could do this under MS Windows by using the system 
"keystroke/macro recorder". Is there a public domain or
commercial recorder for X/Motif?
