Ok, it doesn't die (i.e crashes with a seg fault). It means that Xnee
cannot synchronise anymore. 

This line in the attached file:
        delivered-event-range         7-35 
says you are recording events 7 through 35. I guess this conclusion will
not give me the Nobel prise this year either. Anyhow, you record a
__LOT__ of data with these settings. These data alone:
        18      UnmapNotify
        19      MapNotify
will produce so much data that you'll end up with a recorded session
being too hard to synchronise. Try to strip down the range of data you
record. If you analyse firefox (using cnee) when pressing buttons you'll
get a picture of what to use to sync. Do something like this:

        cnee -devra 7-35 

Now you'll notice that there are data being printed continously. Exclude
12 (Expose) , 15 (VisibilityNotify).

        cnee -devra 7-11,12-14,16-32 --record

You'll see too much of 18 (UnmapNotify), 19 (MapNotify), 22
(ConfigureNotify), 28 (PropertyNotify), exclude them too.....

        cnee -devra 7-11,12-14,16,17,20,21,23-27,29-32 --record

Perhaps this works better.... Then use gnee again (with the settings as
above) if you prefer gnee.

The next step for Xnee is to include some default settings various
applications (or rather Toolkits, such as qt/kde, gtk, ....) so Xnee
users will not have to go through this every time

This is BAD!!!! Cannot reproduce this on my machine over here. If it
happens after you have changed the range of recorded data please, let us
know :) ... hopefully it will not!
