For instance, if a switch device (not associated with XInput or
emulating a mouse button) is used to drive an onscreen keyboard like
GOK; or if a braille "keyboard" (which doesn't connect to the XServer as
a keyboard, but has its own unique serial interface) is used to focus a
GUI component or popup a window. OR if the result of interacting with
such devices causes an app to post a new window via AtkAction. From the
user's perspective, s/he has made a device request, but the XServer
doesn't see these devices as standard keyboards or mice (or even
extended XInput devices).
Probably the simplest solution that would mostly work would be to just
cause a property notify in order to get a timestamp from the X server,
then use that timestamp. There's a function people have been
cut-and-pasting around for this, I just saw it in libgunique, I think
it's in metacity and gtk also.
