From the comp.windows.x FAQ at
http://www.ee.ryerson.ca:8080/~elf/xapps/Q-XVIII.html

XVIII.Is there any software that can record and playback X events?

1.xrecord, developed by Martin Vicente, records, the contents of a screen, a
window or a part of window. Playback is achieved via xplay.The latest version,
0.1, is available at:
ftp://ftp.cena.dgac.fr/pub/binaries/X11/xrecord/

2.xscript is a reasonably working working record/playback facility. It's
available at:
ftp://ftp.x.org/R5contrib/xscript.tar.Z

3.xmon (a X protocol monitor) contains an optional record/playback facility;
the author claims that it is unfinished. The latest version, 1.5.4, is available
at:
ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/devel_tools/xmon.1.5.4.tar.gz

There is a freeware shell called "dtksh", that is a ksh clone that also
takes some tcl/tk style commands display dialog boxes accept mouse events,
returning results back to the script. (Usually a part of most CDE
distributions)
