I tried emailing you directly, but nslookup can't resolve your address,
xerox.com (at PARC) can't either, and following the mail path backwards
(uhura.cc.rochester.edu!rochester!spot!spot.wbst128.xerox.com!stein)
died when rochester didn't know who spot was.  Y'all need to do something
about your mail address.

I believe the answer to your problem lies in the ICCCM...it includes a
convention for reporting exactly this sort of information, and the Open-
Windows tools are supposed to be ICCCM compliant.  The main problem I see
with this idea is that some popular X clients (who shall remain nameless
but whose initials are x.t.e.r.m.) are notoriously non-compliant, so you'll
probably have to combine techniques.
