Thank you all, I've know the window ID of B by XQueryTree and XFetchname, but the things is I can't send GTK event when I only know Xlib's window ID, the GtkWidget of the B application is needed.
I'm reading AT-SPI, it should be helpful. But it's designed for GNOME, if I want to port my application to KDE, how can I do? Does it have a universal interface?
Cheers!

You might want to investigate the at-spi APIs. This API is designed for
out of process accessibility tools to inspect the user interface of an
application, and activate the various actions made available by various
UI components.
It should provide the support necessary to do the sort of remote control
you are after (even though you aren't doing an accessibility specific app).
