If that works, run with it--way more readable than the program that should always work, xwininfo. xwininfo tells you not only window geometry but widget geometry and thus is pretty ridiculously verbose. (xwininfo -tree -root). wmctrl doesn't like my WM but xwininfo has no trouble with it. primary piece of advice would be to close anything like acrobat or a browser before running xwininfo. my 25 open tabs in opera and open acrobat gave me pages and pages of output. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
