+XEvIE - X Event Interception Extension
+
+Extension name: XEVIE
+
+XEvIE is a X extension providing functionalities to allow a client to
+intercept keyboard/mouse events, and optionally modify them or consume
+them before delivery through the normal event delivery mechanisms.
+
+It was included in X11R6.8 through Xorg server 1.5, but is no
+longer supported in current X server releases (and didn't actually
+work in the last releases that did include it, nor was it ever enabled
+by default in the releases made by X.Org, though some distros may have
+enabled it in their builds/packages).
+
+No formal specification of the protocol was ever written, but it can
+be mostly determined from the evieproto.h header and the libXevie
+documentation of the functions that directly map to the protocol requests.
+
+A version 1.1 was proposed to solve several issues around security and
+multi-client access, but never implemented.
+
