Yes.

We don't have that yet...

Yes, there's "event-listener-test" in at-spi/test.  PLEASE NOTE that you
must run this in a non-accessible terminal window (i.e. xterm). If you
run event-listener-test in an accessible terminal like gnome-term, the
text output in the terminal will get reported as change events, and the
test will recurse itself to death ;-)

Also "event-listener-test" listens to mouse events, which you probably
don't care about, unless you start it with "-m".
