Re: window list snapshot?

[Scott Scriven <sawfish-list toykeeper net>]

Er, I didn't see anything during a quick search, so I wrote 
something to do it.  It took a while to figure out how to write 
standalone sawfish scripts, but after looking through the source 
for sawfish-client, I got it working.  The librep manual is 
helpful too, even if not totally straightforward.

Anyway, the script is attached.  It just lists all open windows, 
organized by desktop.

I stick this in a fairly simple loop to dump window titles every 
so often, and then I can easily remember what I was running if 
X11 dies or if I have to log out.
