I tried this:



xprop -id $(gedit & echo $!) -f MY_VAR1 8s -set MY_VAR1 MyCustomVar


Than i tried to xprop and click on the gedit window - MY_VAR1 was not present there.



So i thought maybe i should put sleep in there... i tried:



xprop -id $(gedit & sleep 5 & echo $!) -f MY_VAR1 8s -set MY_VAR1 MyCustomVar


Waited 5 seconds and tried xprop and clicked on the new window.. still nothing



Thanks
