Is it possible to retrieve the active window process/title in Gnome?

August 8, 2022 by Magenaut

I need a solution for getting the current active (focused) window information on a Gnome 2 desktop. I’m mostly interested in the process running that window and window title.

Do GUIs represent a type of separate shell?

August 8, 2022 by Magenaut

When I install some Linux distros with a GUI, they come with the shells sh and Bash. The CLI let you operate the system through sh and Bash, but what about the GUI? Does the GUI let you operate the system through sh and Bash or it has it’s own shell to intermediate between you and the kernel?
