+The id of the currently focused window is stored in the _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW

+Windows can be floated and un-floated by adding or removing the 
+_NET_WM_STATE_ABOVE atom from the _NET_WM_STATE property of the window. 
+This can be achieved by sending a _NET_WM_STATE client message to the 
+root window. For example, the following toggles the floating state of 
+a window using wmctrl to send the message (assuming 0x4a0000b is the 
+id of the window floated or un-floated):
+.Bd -literal -offset indent

+Floating windows can also be resized and moved by sending a

+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+$ wmctrl -i -r 0x4a0000b -e 0,100,50,640,480
