Xev creates a window and then asks the X
server to send it notices called events whenever anything happens to the
window (such as being moved, resized, typed in, clicked in, etc.). It is
useful for seeing what causes events to occur and to display the information
that they contain.
- -display display

to contact.

of the window.
