Open Source Macro Programs?

Posted by Cliff on from the automating-your-mouse-clicks dept.

BlueCup asks: "I've wanted to switch to Linux for quite a while, but my work requires a lot of automated tasks. For these tasks I have global macros set up using Toolsworks and Macro Express. So far I've looked for equivalents for Linux, but have been unsuccessful. Does anyone know of a similar program that reaches the same level of complexity of the above programs for Linux?"

    is there a compo to get these things submitted to slashdot or what?
