General Notes

• For linux wmctrl allows the manipulation of windows from the command line. This is useful for running tests that start up a browser window (and console, such as Selenium), since it is possible to create a wrapper that starts up the browser and then immediately minimizes its window. This keeps the main window uncluttered during test runs. To install wmctrl on Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install wmctrl
