The reason for 'Selecting a window' is for the user to select a window 
(by clicking any point within that window) to be recorded using the 
x11grab facility of ffmpeg (for this, the window's left, top, width & 
height need to be obtained): the window would normally be a Firefox 
tab's 'window' where a video is being played. So from the user's 
selection, the app needs to identify that window (rather than say a 
window 'below' that window which has a common point). I hope that I've 
made this clearer.

PS Apologies for sending 2 messages on this topic (the other having 
subject of "Desktop.Windows"): this occurred due to my ISP playing up so 
that I thought that my first attempt hadn't gone when it had).
