Are you hoping to run parti, or xpra? Currently you are running parti, but I don't know why you would want to run parti against Xvfb. (parti is a traditional window manager -- or the stub of what may someday become one -- and Xvfb is an X server that does not display on the screen at all, so you can't interact with it.) The ./try-parti script will automatically start parti against Xephyr, which is a X server that displays inside a window in your existing X session. > File "wimpiggy.lowlevel.bindings.pyx", line 423, in > wimpiggy.lowlevel.bindings.XGetWindowProperty > TypeError: exceptions must be strings, classes, or instances, not type That's... weird. The code itself appears correct. What version of Python and Pyrex are you using? > Note: I had to enable the Composite extension to get that far. Yes, parti and xpra require compositing support. The distributed scripts should all take care of that automatically -- let me know if you run into any problems with them -- but if you're setting up X servers by hand you might need to do some tweaking of course. -- Nathaniel _______________________________________________ Parti-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.partiwm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/parti-discuss
