[Bug-xnee] Multiple problems with --retype-file

[Joseph Miele]

Version: 1.08

Problem # 1: The --time option is ignored when using option 
--retype-file. The contents of the file are typed immdiately.

Problem #2: The auto key repeat in X is disabled after running xnee with 
the --retype-file option.

Possible cause: After reviewing the code, I noticed that file parse.c 
calls subroutine xnee_type_file, ostensibly to verify that the file to 
be retyped exists. However, this call to the file does more than simply 
verify the existence of the file. It actually performs the file retyping 
during the parsing of the command line arguments! By performing the file 
retyping from parse.c, the --time argument is ignored, which results in 
problem #1. In addition, subroutine xnee_type_file does not terminate 
with a return statement, but with an exit! Since xnee_type_file calls 
xnee_set_autorepeat, but does NOT call xnee_reset_autorepeat, the auto 
key repeat in X is disabled and never reset! This results in problem #2.

Possible solution: File parse.c needs to be changed so it doesn't call 
subroutine xnee_file_type to verify if the file to be retyped exists. It 
needs to store the file name in structure xnee_data, so subroutine 
xnee_type_file can reference it later. Then subroutine xnee_type_file 
needs to be changed so it does not call xnee_set_autorepeat and so it 
does not terminate with an exit, but with a return. This will allow it 
to function like other subroutines so options such as --time will be 
processed.

I can make these changes, but I am hesitant to do so. Before doing 
anything, I thought I would submit these problems (and my ideas for a 
solution) here first. After all, you know this code better than I do. :-)
