Page 280 of the Xlib Programming manual (8.4) states that the
'XSendEvent() function may be used to send a ClientMessage event or any
other event type to a particular window, to the current keyboard focus
window, or to the window in which the pointer is located' and 'It may
also be useful for designing test procedures for you input handling or
for making demonstration programs that simulate user input.' Although it
does send set a flag on the event few apps I've seen check for this.
So at least under X its possible to do this if not with expect.
