+wmctrl is a command line tool to interact with an EWMH/NetWM compatible
+X Window Manager.
+
+The wmctrl program is a command line tool to interact with an EWMH / NetWM
+compatible X Window Manager. It provides command line access to almost all
+of the features defined in the EWMH specification. It's possible to, for
+example, obtain information about the window manager, get a detailed list
+of desktops and managed windows, switch and resize desktops, change the
+number of desktops, make windows full-screen, always-above, or sticky, and
+activate, close, move, resize, maximize, and minimize them. The command line
+access makes it easy to automate these tasks and execute them from any
+application that is able to run a command in response to some event.
