I suggest that this be documented (the current description of -noevents implies that it does something which seems to be roughly the opposite of the effect I'm seeing). No doubt this is some X nastiness. It might also be useful to change the default. These comments should probably go to the upstream author. I used to use a very old version of unclutter (0.4), which didn't need this option because it probably didn't have the code to send the offending events. Unfortunately that version was linked against libc.so.2.2.2 (!) which doesn't support DNS queries for hostname lookups ...
