There is also wmctrl, which has a c program and a perl module. It does everything you want except identify the active window. It does have an :ACTIVE: identifier, but it seems that it dosn't give you the current active window ( since the current active is itself running :-) ) See: http://sweb.cz/tripie/utils/wmctrl/ There are also a link to a focusfinder.c program at http://gnomesupport.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10379 zentara -- I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. http://zentara.net/japh.html _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
