Most of that time was spent searching for the name of the AC_PATH_XTRA configure macro. is missing a way to find out what window handles are there now. Remember - do not ask the window manager for this information! Run xwininfo and click on the window. How about having xfocus display a list of the handles of all open windows (along with some identifying information such as window title or controlling process ID - for the user to match up with more information using ps's output) when provided with no window handle argument? Like Didi already said, xwininfo can do that too. When done, xfocus will be cool little application! I'm not sure it's worth the trouble of packaging it, but if the need is there I have no objection.

Version 0.1 is 490 lines of code, so does it (with Haskell libraries) have sufficiently small memory footprint for use in Erez D's system? A quick search in debian's archive finds also: tinywm - tiny window manager Seems to actually include three versions, a C version (58 lines), annotated C version (179 lines), and a python version (40 lines). Seems useful mainly as a demonstration. nawm - Non-windowmanager with windowmanager functionality Somewhat similar to xwit. -- Didi = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I figure that there are other similar tools. XTEST simulates keyboard/mouse input. The fault with this logic is that, with no window manager, THERE IS NOT KEYBOARD OR MOUSE INPUT THAT WILL TRIGGER A FOCUS CHANGE. There is nothing to simulate.
