So I moved some X programs down to the mac, and I'm getting
Error: XTEST extension unavailable on '(null)'.
from xdotool.
Does OS X X11 come with XTEST?
If not, is there a way to add it?

A:
defaults write org.x.X11 enable_test_extensions -boolean true
(from here). Then quit and restart the X server; the XTEST extension should then be available.

Splendid, thanks! I can't imagine why that's not set be default.

Automating input may be seen as a security risk, especially since XTEST doesn't set the `send_event` flag in the `XEvent` structure which lets the application know it's being automated.
