make.pl Opera utilities 		This pops up a window with all information that sawfish can get about any window.  This includes the topics callable functions, window properties, the keymap and X properties.  It works for a managed, unmanaged or root window.  The topics and amount of information are adjusted accordingly.

The enlargeable screenshot shows all three kinds, each with a different topic selected.

It will automatically use GTK2 if sawfish can find it, thanks to Allin Cottrell.
