All this renewed activity has reminded me I have a few StumpWM utilities
that I've been meaning to finish. One is an extension to emacs org-mode,
letting StumpWM call in to the org-mode capture process.

One thing I'd really like to have working for that is the ability to
extract a url from the focused web browser. From what I can tell, that
information isn't present as part of the xlib window data. So it's
sounding a bit iffy.

Does anyone have any bright ideas in this direction? I'd be willing to
write multiple browser-specific implementations, but I'm not even sure
where to start. Perhaps sending a fake keypress to highlight the URL
bar, and getting the x selection...?

Thanks!
Eric
