[Gambas-user] New to Gambas - coding question how to find the active window on an Ubuntu 7.10 desktop

[Khos]

The X window information program does seem to know which window your mouse is
hovering over.. if I could use that in Gambas it would answer my questions. 
I just noticed.. this X window information does have a Global hints section
where it lists the active window! man, how can I access that in Gambas?
Would I need to follow Jose's tip/code?
