Is this true, Fedora's X does not have the Xtrap stuff? Why distribute the xtrap apps if that is the case? And why do I see...

This is because DEC-XTRAP is a depricated entension in the X11 server, its recommended that RECORD and XTEST be used instead. Still its pretty naff that the old clients are still availible under Fedora.
<From the xtrapchar manpage> IMPORTANT NOTE Digital participated in the X Consortium’s xtest working group which chose to evolve XTrap functionality into a new extension for X11/R6 known as the RECORD extension (XTrap input synthesis functionality is currently covered by the XTEST extension). It is strongly suggested that users of XTrap technology begin developing against RECORD/XTEST as it is the intention of the X Consortium to drive these two extensions in the standards process for providing the protocol capturing/synthesis functionality. Some members of the xtest working group are actively researching migration issues between XTrap and RECORD. If you’d like to contribute, please participate! Contact your local X Consortium Rep for details on how to be added to the xtest mailing list.
If you encounter problems, have questions, etc. with XTrap, please con- tact via mail, phone, etc. at:
