Since the 'Save Screen' command in OpenWindows is hardcoded to the filename
it saves in (which is very inflexible), I thought I would whip up an X
version of Sunview's toolplaces (it finds out the locations of the windows
on your desktop and associated icons).  Please let me know if this has already
been done so I don't reinvent the wheel.

By using xlswins, xprop, and xwininfo I can get all the information I need.
Now comes the problem.  WM_COMMAND is set only for a public domain program
I have (calctool).  For OpenWindow's programs (clock, shelltool, perfmeter)
WM_COMMAND isn't set.  Does anybody know of a way I can find out what command
was executed with which window?  Contool 3.0 also doesn't set WM_COMMAND
but at least I can change that.  I can't modify any of the programs that
come with OpenWindows.  Thanx for any help in advance.
