Get window criteria to use with i3 window placement. Taken from: http://bit.ly/1e9pcfe

# i3-get-window-criteria - Get criteria for use with i3 config commands
# To use, run this script, then click on a window.
# Output is in the format: [<name>=<value> <name>=<value> ...]
# Known problem: when WM_NAME is used as fallback for the 'title="<string>"' criterion,
# quotes in "<string>" are not escaped properly. This is a problem with the output of `xprop`,
# reported upstream: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66807
