        Thanks. I compiled the new version. The bug is partially fixed. When I 
record both mouse and keyboard, or mouse events only, it works as expected (see 
logs in attached files "mouse" and "mouse-keyboard"). But when I record 
keyboard events (by running "./cnee --record --events-to-record 100 
--keyboard"), I get the following output when moving my mouse (see attached 
file "keyboard" for full log):

...
WARNING: Enough valuators,but non motion/button event so not printing
0,100,0,0,0,0,0,582689301
...

        So, if I want to capture specified amount of keyboard events, I can't, 
because when using --keyboard option (without --mouse) xnee thinks that mouse 
motion is an event (for some strange reason, the warning says its non-motion 
event, but it is). In this case, instead of 100 keyboard events I was able to 
record only 4 because of few moments of mouse motion.
        When recording logs, I first pressed Shift on the keyboard twice, then 
a button on the mouse, then moved the mouse around for few seconds. Looks like 
your fix works as expected only when mouse events are recorded and does not 
otherwise.

        The following is not related to the bug, but I ask anyway. Is there any 
reason for printing and counting each event three times? For example, if I ask 
xnee to capture 6 keyboard events, it will capture 2 instead (Shift-down and 
Shift-up in this case):

% ./cnee --record --events-to-record 6 --keyboard
...
7,2,0,0,0,50,0,504416288,20,TypeMatrix.com USB Keyboard
0,2,0,0,0,50,0,504416288
6,2,0,0,0,50,0,504416288,3,Virtual core keyboard
7,3,0,0,0,50,0,504416384,20,TypeMatrix.com USB Keyboard
0,3,0,0,0,50,0,504416384
6,3,0,0,0,50,0,504416384,3,Virtual core keyboard

        To me this looks like unexpected behavior. "0,2,0,0,0,50,0,504416288" 
and "0,3,0,0,0,50,0,504416384" contain only duplicate information, and virtual 
core events seem to always repeat real device events, so basically they contain 
duplicate information too. I naturally expect to see this output instead:

% ./cnee --record --events-to-record 2 --keyboard
...
7,2,0,0,0,50,0,504416288,20,TypeMatrix.com USB Keyboard
7,3,0,0,0,50,0,504416384,20,TypeMatrix.com USB Keyboard

        When I ask for 6 keyboard events to be recorded, I expect 6 events to 
be recorded, not 2. If there is valid reason for current behavior, I would 
appreciate if you explain it, perhaps I'm missing something here? This is true 
for mouse too. Also, this unnecessary duplication makes log files about 3 times 
larger.
