Now, please correct me where i'm wrong, but i believe that
the windows method only returns the windows in your application,
but not in other applications, or
non-application x-windows programs.

I would like a list of all the windows on the screen, from all sources:
the current application, other gnustep applications, and all the xwindows
as well.

I do recognize that there can only be less information available about
other applications, and even less for non-gnustep windows.

I imagine that i can code something up, either parsing xwininfo or calling
xlib routines directly, or something along those lines.
I'm pretty sure you need to do something like that. I don't know about an AppKit call that oculd provid eyou with that information.
