I rebuilt this with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS='debug nostrip' and amongst other things it emits the following:

>>> X11InputMonitor::run
>>> X11InputMonitor::run_xrecord
>>> X11InputMonitor::init_xrecord
    X11InputMonitor::init_xrecord use_xrecord= 1
<<< X11InputMonitor::init_xrecord
>>> X11InputMonitor::terminate
>>> X11InputMonitor::stop_xrecord
<<< X11InputMonitor::run_xrecord
<<< X11InputMonitor::run
<<< X11InputMonitor::stop_xrecord
<<< X11InputMonitor::terminate
>>> X11InputMonitor::~X11InputMonitor
<<< X11InputMonitor::~X11InputMonitor

It does seem to be trying to use XRecord but not getting anywhere.
I wonder if this could be a configuration problem on my machine or interference with some other program, like if only one is allowed to use that at once?
