xmitm

X server proxy written in Lua similar to xtrace.

Can run many applications, but some might not work.

Created with the intention of working around a crash in the s&box editor caused by it sending a ConfigureWindow message with a window ID that is invalid due to a previous call to DestroyWindow. Does successfully prevent the crash, but it's still very broken for reasons likely other than the proxy.

Usage

1. git clone https://github.com/x4fx77x4f/xmitm.git xmitm
