I was not able to get to a window covered by my taskbar. A blackbox crash had made it move I guess. I used wmctrl which uses EWMH properties. I used "wmctrl -l" to get window IDs. ("xlsclients -l" would also give the ID.) And then moved the window so I could see it:

wmctrl -i -r 0x00400001 -e 0,5,5,500,500

When adding TTF fonts (Microsoft corefonts) to /usr/share/fonts/ and made sure that is in my /etc/fontconfig/fonts.conf config, then when restarting Abiword it automatically saw new fonts -- no fc-cache was needed.

Last December, I used qvplay, but I forgot to document my work. So I relearn today.

Made sure that my serial was writable by the group I am a member of. Then used: "qvplay -D /dev/tty00 -I" to list information of all pictures:

Picture   1 = protect off 640x480 02
Picture   2 = protect off 640x480 02
...
Picture  71 = protect off 480x240
Picture  72 = protect off 480x240

Show battery status:

$ qvplay -D /dev/tty00 -V
battery = 4.62 V

And camera status:

$ qvplay -D /dev/tty00 -z
QV-100/300/200 status is...
CCD unit is normal angle.
REC/PLAY switch is PLAY position.

Show number of pictures in camera's memory:

$ qvplay -D /dev/tty00 -n
pictures = 72

I forgot to set speed with -S switch so it is using default of 1.
