I'm doing admin kind of work over six machines at the moment, resulting in around 4 terminals with 6 tabs each.<p/>A tool like this would be wonderful, but if it requires 24 separate windows open, it'd be trading one problem for another.

It works by delivering keystroke events to the application's X window. No. No tabs, sorry. It works by delivering keystroke events to the application’s X window.

Ah, well... I've got most things scripted, so it's not too bad a problem. That’s what I figured. Ah, well… I’ve got most things scripted, so it’s not too bad a problem.

Straight up xlib (with a single call to libXmu far away from the main code path for the purposes of making the 'Grab' button work). Nope.

It seems that you decided to attach a GPL license to my code.

This is reasonable, but I don’t license my software under licenses which I have not yet read. As such, the “or at your option any later version” clause is inappropriate.

The text should read (exactly):

“This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of version 2 of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation.”

I’ll address these issues and integrate your .desktop file and manpages and do a 0.1.1 release. Thanks for your efforts!
