location of Thunderbird windows.
Here is the starting script. You'll have to munge the resulting
list for windows of interest.
tell application "System Events"
set ew to every window of every application process
end tell
Cool, thanks. This produces some output, after enabling Assistive
Access. But all the windows for X11, for instance, are missing.
I believe that's a different kettle of fish entirely and I don't know
much about X11 windows. For instance if there is a native tool which
reports window list info.
There may be a possibility using C level calls in CGWindow.h but that
would be a question to pose on carbon-dev: <http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/carbon-dev
