I've tried xse, and it seems to open a wide range of application with
programs like epoch.
What I've done is a test of menus created with tvtwm, each item of the
menu being a call to xse to send keystrokes to epoch.
Here is a sample of what can be done:

menu "epoch"
{
        "Epoch Menu"   f.title
        "Undo"         !"xse -window PointerWindow 'Ctrl<Key>x' '<Key>u'"
        "Univ. Arg."   !"xse -window PointerWindow 'Ctrl<Key>u'"
        "Quit"         !"xse -window PointerWindow 'Ctrl<Key>x' 'Ctrl<Key>c'"
}

Of course this is just an example: xse seems to be able to handle events
other than just keystrokes! I haven't tried to call it from epoch, but I
don't see any problem to do it. You will have then to figure out what
information to send to tvtwm.
