Thank you.
But it seems XRunner is not avaliable on Linux.
Any other tools I can use? Whether free or not...
Thanks

XRunner does it, but the authors don't have a generic foolproof method,
either: they have to implement different sensing algorithms for every X
toolkit. Also, they cannot sense the toolkit a given application uses,
either: although if the library were dynamically linked, you could infer
which toolkit might be used.
Heh heh... grab a screenshot of a given rectangle and run an OCR library
on it.
