From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The GNOME extension appears to get the currently focused window information (ie name, title, PID and executable name) and make this information available over DBUS for the client binary.
The client binary calls
gnome-screenshot -fand I assume gives a path that the client binary then sends to Hubstaff servers.A janky suggestion would be to create a Kwin Script that pulls the active window information, sends it (somehow) to a DBUS service that can provide it to the client binary and create a wrapper script around
spectacleto pretend to begnome-screenshot(egspectacle -b -f $@)I don't know if this would work fully though as the client binary strings seem to hint it checks the running version of GNOME Shell, and without an account I can't see if this is a hard requirement or a "Hey, this is broken, we'll try our best!" type thing.
