    I want to write an application and (Maybe) run it as a daemon or a
    background process.
    It has to detect any other GUI application which launches and get
    control of the window of the launched application. It later has to
    fill in some text into such a window.
    Please help me out how to go about it. Is it the session manager of
    Gnome into which I have to look into or Window manager or Display
    manager or somethine else.... Any kind of help would be highly
    appreciated.
    Thanks
    Pach
