Hi, my server had a ?weird? file in /tmp/.X11-unix/ for which xwininfo would never return, locking up x2golistdesktops.

The solution is to provide a timeout for the shell call to xwininfo. This can be accomplished either using the shell command ?timeout? or the Perl IPC::Run module (as described in the first response to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16918005/time-out-when-using-system-cmd-i...).

For my purpose, I?ve used the shell timeout command. Patch below.

The glorious question here is, actually: Why does xwininfo hang in the first place?
