A weird question, but is it possible to get the window list of
another application? Just an array of NSWindows would be fine, but I
can't see anything in the documentation.
One thing to keep in mind: Carbon applications don't have NSWindows.
The same probably applies to Java AWT/Swing applications. So, if you
want to do more than just find out names, positions or other stuff
that Accessibility provides, you'll have to resort to some kind of
hack, and you'll have to special-case for non-Cocoa applications.
This is commonly done using APE (an extension to MacOS X used e.g. by
Haxies from Unsanity).
