How can I get the text from windows title bars

[milarepa]

I am trying to develop a task switcher under Ubuntu. Is there a function whereas I could retrieve the title bar text of all current applications.

Thank you

I assumme you are using Tk.

$mw = MainWindow->new(-title=>"MY TITLE");
my $title =$mw->title();

He wants to obtain the title of other windows running on the system, so if Pidgin, Tek-Tips in Firefox, and XChat are all running, his program should be able to get the titles of all those windows.

Look at X11::GUITest,

- I don't think it's as mature as Win32::GUITest (which does the same things on Windows) but that's prolly pretty close (if not that, try the other X11 modules).
