Users have been submitting bugs to me about features not working properly on their machine and I have figured out that some of these bugs are quirks related to window manager / display server / compositor / desktop environment / etc. Is there any way to build a tool to list the graphic stack and all of the versions?

What I know so far is:

wmctrl -m works for getting just the name of the window manager.

inxi -Gxxx works for getting some other info, but is not easily machine readable.

But ideally I would like to not depend on either of those tools.
