> Wouldn't 'xwininfo' (or 'wmctrl'), from an Emacs shell, be enough?
- if I would know how to get result from `xwininfo` at the moment when it is fired out of Emacs, without me clicking on it, then fine.
- wmctrl I do not know how, do you know?
I need it programmatically, without user's interaction.
But now I am thinking to use `(select-frame-set-input-focus (selected-frame))` instead, to bring the user back to Emacs, let me try...
(progn
(sleep-for 10)
(select-frame-set-input-focus (selected-frame)))
So that worked well, I think I must use that method, and case is resolved now.
