You can use xwininfo to look at window information. "xlsclients -al"
shows many informations about windows.
On my PC I did this test after launching openoffice:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/root$ xlsclients -la
Window 0x1c00005:
Machine: doripc
Name: mrxvt
Icon Name: mrxvt
Command: mrxvt -xft -xftfm FreeMono -xftsz 11 -vb -geometry 90x30
Instance/Class: mrxvt/XTerm
Window 0x120000a:
Machine: doripc
Name: kicker
Command: kicker
Instance/Class: kicker/Kicker
Window 0x400001:
Machine: doripc
Name: Mozilla-Thunderbird
Icon Name: icedove-bin
Command: icedove-bin
Instance/Class: icedove-bin/Icedove-bin
Window 0x1a00001:
'' Command: /bin/sh /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice
Now I see that the window 0x1a00001 is the window I am interested in, so
I issue:
doripc:~# xprop -id 0x1a00001
WM_COMMAND(STRING) = { "/bin/sh", "/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice" }
WM_CLIENT_LEADER(WINDOW): window id # 0x1a00001
_KDE_NET_WM_USER_CREATION_TIME(CARDINAL) = 3979416247
...just to discover that that window seems not to have a name...
So, while a common method to find a window was Desktop.find() (look at previous
messages in this list), this time may be that doesn't work.
Perhaps you can 'SHELL "xlsclients -la" TO sXls', and then parse sXls to find
out the window ID.
Desktop.Find() can be used to get all the windows, but then don't know how to
get more information. One way could be to execute a find, then launch
openoffice, then do a find again to see what window has been added...
Hope this could help.
Doriano.
