I just got a second monitor, and I am working on getting ut2004 to show up in the right place. I think that I can get fluxbox to position it using ~/.fluxbox/apps, but I'm not sure how to figure out the window name (or WM_CLASS i guess) for ut2k4's gaming window, because it grabs the mouse thus xprop doesn't work. Is there a command I can watch which will list the names of all the windows running on X?

UPDATE: Well, I somehow managed to recover the pointer by holding the alt key (fluxbox lets you move the window by holding the alt key). In case anybody cares, the window name you need for ut2004 in .fluxbox/apps is SDL_App. So now I'm gonna play ut2004 on one screen and watch seinfeld on the other.


... Nobody even read this post, did they?
