Nice. That worked. FWIW, Tk never gave me the very outermost window as the
parent of the tkinter.Tk instance. Here's the start of hierarchy:
% xwininfo -tree
xwininfo: Please select the window about which you
would like information by clicking the
mouse in that window.
xwininfo: Window id: 0x5a0001f "Typing Watcher"
Root window id: 0x7a2 (the root window) (has no name)
Parent window id: 0xc73880 (has no name)
1 child:
0x5a0001e (has no name): () 178x126+0+0 +2+43
1 child:
0x5a00020 (has no name): () 178x126+0+0 +2+43
5 children:
...
Tk thought 0x5a0001e was the top, but as you can see 0x5a0001f is the named
window. Calling wmctrl using "Typing Watcher" as the target window did the
trick.
Thanks,
