Hmm, thinking sideways a bit...

is there some event we could explicitly fire (inside either atk-bridge
or libgail -i.e. within the application's process space) which would
have no real effect on the running app but which would result in the
Xserver updating its user-time stamp?

Seems to me that's what we want - to tell the application "hey, the user
just interacted with you!".
