Yes, I think I mentioned xprop elsethread. I don't yet know how to get the window id of the shell's parent, but hey. It seems xterm has even a better trick up its sleeve: it has a window title /stack/ [1] which you can control via escape sequences. Now it's getting really dangerous: I must resist looking into that -- I have a paying customer I've got to make happy :-D Cheers [1] https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3232655/can-i-get-terminal-title-or-otherwise-restore-old-one - t
