winutils forLinux?

Hi everybody!

Anybody that knows about any "winutil" like functions for Linux?
I want to put a window in focus and to move windows on my desktop
in Linux (using Gnome).

Winutils dates back to LabVIEW 3.x and 4.x times where VI server was not
available. Miost of what Winutils does is easily solved with native
LabVIEW property nodes for VI refnums nowadays. Moving VI front panels
on the screen has been possible with VI server at least since LabVIEW
5.1 (VI refnum->Front Panel->Origin). Focus activation since about 6.1
(VI refnum->Front Panel->Is Frontmost) if I'm not mistaken.
