Is there a standard X / Gnome program that will display the X,Y width and depth in pixels of a window that I select? Something similar to the way an xterm shows you the width and depth of the window (in lines) as you resize it.
Yes, you're looking for the program 'xwininfo'. Run it in another terminal and then click on the window you want info about and it will give it to you.
