Joymaster 
Description
Joymaster allows you to control X11 windows using your joystick. Unlike other such tools, Joymaster supports macro's on both the triggers (joystick) as well as on the simulated events (keystrokes in X11 windows).
It watches the currently focussed window to see which buttons should perform what actions. This means you can have joystick controls perform different events per window. Secondly, it supports macro's both on the joystick and for controlling windows. For instance, tapping the 'Up' button on your joystick three times can result in an event sequence on a window that loads, changes and saves your document and then exits the application.
I am personally using it to load and save games under various emulators as well as quiting emulators and then controlling a running Midnight Commander to select a different game to play. I also use it to lauch, watch and pause movies using Totem. As you can tell, I'm quite the couch-potato.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A PRE-RELEASE AND IS THEREFOR A LITTLE ROUGH AROUND THE EDGES. SUBSEQUENT VERSIONS WILL HAVE BETTER DOCUMENTATION, BUGFIXES, ETC.
