Public bug reported:
Hello,
Using "python-wnck" to report and set the workspace/desktop number.
I have the following Python code. It first sets the current
desktop/workspace (in the loop) and then tries to report the desktop
number.
The print "actual=", actual
statement prints always the first desktop (eg. 0), It does not change.
IT DOES NOT OBEY THE ws.activate(timestamp) command.
Note: you must test this with Metacity Window Manager. It will not work with
Compiz. Run
$ metacity --replace
# The code:
import gtk, gobject, wnck
import time
class Cambiatore(object):
def __init__(self):
self.screen= wnck.screen_get_default()
def cambia(self, next_ws):
ws = self.screen.get_workspaces()[next_ws]
timestamp = int(time.time())
ws.activate(timestamp)
ws = self.screen.get_active_workspace()
actual = self.screen.get_workspace_index(ws)
print "actual=", actual
gtk.main_quit()
c = Cambiatore()
# Supposing you have at least 4 virtual desktops. Loop'em.
for i in range(4):
gobject.idle_add(c.cambia, i)
gtk.main()
And why does it need this evet-loop thing ?
DEEPLY COONFUUSING !
