I submitted a patch to do exactly that some time ago:

http://bugzilla.mplayerhq.hu/show_bug.cgi?id=251

It has been two years, and since no one cared, I did not insist. It probably
does not apply on current code, but the core function should be reusable
(and finding documentation about XTest is not really easy).

I also started a thread about a desktop-wide do-not-disturb protocol on a
Freedesktop mailing-list:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.wm-spec/1357

but it ended nowhere :(
