I modified 'xwininfo' to print out information about windows in "xterm"
format (ie, "=" and "#" are used for window and icon position respectively).
The modified version also attempts to figure out whether the window has
a title tab and scrollbar.  It is not as nice as 'toolplaces', but its alot
better than nothing.

If there is much interest (send mail to me), I will post the sources
here -- its not too big (and we don't have arpanet access).
