The application in question might be using the X input extension and only responding to XI events, and you likely forgot to change the event window contained in the event before resending it to the application. It's generally a bad idea to intercept and ``resend'' events to other X clients, as you are required to translate the event coordinates yourself, and the recipients will see events arrive with their timestamps out-of-order. Additionally, you will have to translate input extension events generated by both versions of the extension, and any generated by extensions that haven't yet been invented.
