Monitoring for keyboard event.

["Epelman, Boris \(MED-ELGEMS\)" <Boris_Epelman@elgems.com>]

Does anybody know how it is possible to catch keyboard events,
regardless of the pointer position?

The only way I found is by using XQueryTree for RootWindow, which builds an hierarchy of
all existing windows and then XSelectInput with KeyPressMask | SubstructureNotifyMask for every window.
This seems to be unreliable: the root window on IRIX as well as some new windows do not 
report events. 
Is there a way to directly catch all keyboard events?

Thanks, Boris
