How do I find the window dimensions and position accurately including decorations?
I’ve been trying to figure out the size of a window for use in a small script. My current technique is using wmctrl -lG to find out the dimensions. However, the problem is this:
Insert both characters if a dead key combination is not recognized (e.g. ‘a → á, ‘b → ‘b)
When I use any variation of English, US international (with dead keys,altGr dead keys or alternative) on my Linux Mint machine I always encounter this behaviour.
When I press one of these keys: ' " and then follow them with a ‘non-accentable’ character like a [ or a b no output comes out at all.

On my local machine, I run:
Isn’t $HOME supposed to be the location of the user’s home directory?
I’m having trouble with a web application I’m writing: The web application, which runs as user nobody, needs to launch an inkscape process to manipulate some SVG files. Because this runs as user nobody, there is no home directory. What I am doing is creating a temporary directory under /tmp and trying to set that as the home directory via export HOME=/tmp/someUniqueId. I then set a few things in that “temporary” home directory, like a symlink .fonts to the folder for the font files to use.
