a small shell script for whoever might find it useful:
The script fetches a window's properties and appends a winprop template at the end of the local kludges file. It then launches an editor for the kludges file so that the attributes can be modified.
It runs on Solaris here. You might want to edit the "editor" and "kludges" variables at the top ...
Cheers,
Felix.
