Good night,

I was told by Debian's IRC that I would be better served by this mailing list to aid me in improving a shell script that I've created. I tried to fix the lack of an option for creating button mapping profiles for Wacom Tablets in the Gnome's Settings menu with a script that would allow me to create and store such profiles, and also load them dynamically based on the application currently in focus. This was the result.

For what it's worth, it is functional. But the way it identifies a program by reading its header is problematic, since they aren't static, and having it run on a loop since startup in order to detect applications being focused makes for a lot of useless cycles. As such, I would like to know if there is a better way to identify applications in focus, and even, if it is possible to to launch the script when an application gets on focus.

Thanks you for listening,
