   3. In the terminal, type `xprop WM_CLASS`. Your mouse pointer should now turn to crosshairs.
   4. Click anywhere in the application's window.

   7. Write down the line printed on the terminal. (If there are multiple lines, use the first one.) This is the full executable path.
  
  ==== Finding the Package Name ====
  
  After you have found the executable path, finding the package name is easy. Just run `dpkg -S [full executable path]`. For example, `dpkg -S /usr/bin/gnome-display-properties`. This will print the package name: you're done!
  
- Another tool useful when triaging bugs is '''apt-file''': `apt-file search picasa.exe`. This utility works like `dpkg -S` but searches all packages instead of only those you have installed.
