Yes, I guess this should be possible.

Thank you for the links, but honestly I don't understand them. I only
have some basic notions of programming, in bash for example, but not
in Ruby. I would prefer a solution not using yet-another-language. Is
it possible to "translate" your hint in a simpler way?

Maybe I will give it a try, but I really like wmii hence I would
prefer to keep with it if possible… and I don't know anything about
Ruby.

Thank you for your help, though.
