I was thinking of using some cool x-utility function. Here's the .deb
info for a Debian package called xwit that might fit the bill, haven't
checked it out yet.

$ apt-cache show xwit  
...
Description: a collection of simple routines to call some X11 functions
xwit is a collection of simple routines to call some X11 functions that
don't already have any utility commands built around them.  The
reasoning behind this is that loosely every X function should be
accessible from a shell script.  
.
For example, XWarpPointer() will move the X pointer, but no utility
program exists to do so on those rare occasions when you could really
use it.  xwit will also resize, iconify, pop, and move windows given by
name or id, change an icon, title or name, set the screen saver going,
and change individual key autorepeat settings, etc.
