[Qt-interest] GUI Application List?

[David Boosalis]

If your focused on Linux you may want to investigate some of KDE's
API's. For instance KWindowSystem and KWindowInfo might work for you.
And who knows it might they may  work on Windows

const QList< WId > & KWindowSystem::windows()
KWindowInfo (WId window, unsigned long properties, unsigned long properties2=0).

Perhaps lookin at the source code
