[SOLVED] Cmd-line utility to get X window info?

There's some command-line utility whose name I can't remember. One starts it, then clicks the mouse in an X application, and the utility outputs a bunch of info like class name, instance name, an ASCII representation of the application's icon, etc.  Can anyone tell me what this utility is called?

Thanks
