 How it works
 ------------
-  - Retrieve the focused window
-  - Read its attributes to get the PID. If `_NET_WM_PID` is set, xcwd just
-    read the value. Otherwise it reads the `_NET_WM_CLASS` and compares it to
-    the name of all the running processes
-  - Search for the deepest child of the selected PID (to avoid getting the
-    working directory of the terminal instead of the shell)
