Hello,
Hopefully it is OK to post queries here relating to use of wnck via
python. I'm not sure where else to go...
I've written a little python program to tile windows under gnome. It
worked nicely until I started using compiz. Under compiz, all windows
report that they are on 'Workspace 1', and so
is_visible_on_workspace(ws) reports that all windows are visible on the
current workspace, even though they are spread across different
workspaces as depicted in the gnome panel's workspace switcher.
It looks to me as though the concept of workspaces no longer holds under
compiz? i.e. they are all called "Workspace 1" and are number "0"
according to wnck?
I've included a sample program at [1] below with output at [2]. My
versions are shown at [3].
Thanks for any tips,
Jason.

[1] Sample program
--------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env python
import pygtk
pygtk.require('2.0')
import gtk
import gobject
import wnck
import math
class TestClass:
def printWindows(self, screen):
# Print windows on the current workspace
ws = screen.get_active_workspace()
windows = screen.get_windows()
for w in windows:
type=w.get_window_type()
if w.is_visible_on_workspace(ws) and type == wnck.WINDOW_NORMAL:
print "Window: " + repr(w.get_name()) + " " +
repr(w.get_workspace().get_name())
# Our work is done - quit the main loop
gtk.main_quit()
def main(self):
# register a callback to be invoked when main loop is idle
screen = wnck.screen_get_default()
gobject.idle_add(self.printWindows, screen)
gtk.main()
# This is the entry point if we are invoked on the command-line
if __name__ == "__main__":
testClass = TestClass()
testClass.main()
