I am trying to record window coordinates for all open windows in a
session. I have tried using xwininfo, however, for many windows it
simply reports the same x,y coordinates, specifically 10.
xwininfo is probably the wrong tool for this job. Try "wmctrl -l -G" ,
and you'll get a bunch of lines like so:
0x01200008 -1 0 977 1280 47 samantha kicker
....meaning window 0x01200008 (kicker) starts at (0,977) and is 1280
pixels wide and 47 pixels high. Much easier to interpret than
xwininfo's output. Note that the geometries that wmctrl lists don't
take titlebars or window borders into account, though, just the windows.
