‌

Instead use wmctrl -i -a <XID> eg. 0x04c00011

wmctrl -i -a $(wmctrl -l | grep "N/A Gazebo" | awk '{print $1}' | awk '{print $1}' )

• changed state from "new" to "resolved"

Resolved with smart used of wmctrl. Be careful: If another window is contains "Gazebo" in its name (eg. a browser tab about Gazebo), it may find that instead and not work correctly.
