Announcing an X11 protocol tracing package

[David Howells]

xtrace, an X11 protocol tracing package that is already available in Debian is
now also available in updates-testing for F20 and Rawhide.

	xtrace-1.3.1-5.fc20	newpackage	testing	2014-03-30

This is used by running a program under xtrace, eg:

	xtrace xterm

The xtrace program then acts as a dummy/proxy X server to the program it runs,
setting DISPLAY appropriately.  It can also be run as a standalone proxy for
processes to connect to:

	xtrace -D :9

The output appears on stderr or can be dumped into a file.  It looks like:
