Looks good. I'll patch it in and test.

Sorry for the delays in integrating this feature. I've been slacking. Will get 
to this 
soon

Haha, no problem, I'm still using the version I originally patched ;-)

Alrighty. Screen searching now supported in svn HEAD (new release soon)

Search for 'foo' on all screens:
xdotool search foo

Search for 'foo' on screen 1:
xdotool search --screen 1 foo

This is only relevant to normal X screens. Xinerama sessions are treated as a 
single 
screen.

If you can, can you confirm that this works for you? It works for me, buti  use 
Xinerama, and I am not sure I can configure my setup without it (nvidia card).
