As long as there's a window manager, it will (by definition) be listening for events on the root window, and no other program can get events from the root.Ok. End of the dream...
Not necessarily....I suggest you talk to the xorg-developers. Maybe we could get something to allow us to do this added? They're relatively nice people, and some spend time in #freedesktop and maybe #xorg on FreeNode.
