I doubt that they would actually take something like that into the main
code line since it uses the XTest extension ( right? ).

In any case, if you want to call it from gtk code you do something like:

XTestFakeKeyEvent(GDK_DISPLAY(), XFakeEvent);

I don't have documentation for that function on my machine - it might
not be installed. We do a lot of X hacks in mozilla to get better
performance where we can. It's not too bad.
