What do you expect to happen? Nothing on the man page leads me to believe that wmctrl will execute a shell command for you. The '-r' is supposed to raise the indicated window, that's all. If there is no such window, presumably nothing will happen. RTFM. OTOH when I do 'wmctrl -d' (supposed to list desktops) I get: % wmctrl -d GLib-ERROR **: gmem.c:156: failed to allocate 1020346790576176 bytes aborting...
