wmctrl A command line tool to interact with an EWMH/NetWM compatible X Window Manager.

To compile and install the program, run the following commands:

./configure
make
(become root)
make install

After installation you may run "wmctrl -h" to view the documentation.

The program is based on the EWMH specification:

http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/wm-spec/

Please note that wmctrl only works with window managers which implement this specification.

I recommend you to check out Zenity, which is an excellent tool to integrate the GUI and the command line.
