Shows all open windows across all virtual screens in a Linux system as mini screenshots in a browser. Clicking on a snapshot in the browser raises the 'real' window & gives it focus.

Prerequisites: Python wmctrl

Usage: in the project directory, run: python -m CGIHTTPServer in the browser, go to localhost:8000/desktop.html

I did try running this through Apache, but the permissions and X authorization for wmctrl were a big headache.
