Need Help??

The application you used is xeyes. You can get the source code for the ubuntu package from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xeyes/xeyes_1.0.1.orig.tar.gz, which might give you a clue as to some of the mechanics involved.

That is an excellent idea, so I did just that. The source is included in the `x11-apps` package. I got the 8.04/hardy source http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/x11-apps. My crude analysis is that `xeyes` polls the mouse position. It polls frequently when there is mouse activity but then backs off on the polling interval when there is no activity. There is no hook into a mouse handler.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
