slop 7.5-1build1 (ppc64el binary) in ubuntu groovy

 slop (Select Operation) is an application that queries for a
 selection from the user and prints the region to stdout. It grabs the
 mouse and turns it into a crosshair, lets the user click and drag to
 make a selection (or click on a window) while drawing a pretty box
 around it, then finally prints the selection's dimensions to stdout.
 .
 Features:
 .
  * Hovering over a window will cause a selection rectangle to appear
    over it.
  * Clicking on a window makes slop return the dimensions of the
    window.

    cursor into angles as you drag the selection rectangle.
