Hello,
This question is about the Wnck library. I still hope someone here can
shed light on this issue.
The following code snippet loops though all active workspaces/desktops.
It then tries to report the actual desktop/workspace number, but the
"current workspace num" does not change.
The code is here: http://www.futuredesktop.com/tmp/desktop_test.py
Look at the last three lines.
ws = screen.get_active_workspace()
ws_num = ws.get_number()
print "i=", i, " current workspace num=", ws_num
I reports something like this:
i= 0 current workspace num= 1
i= 1 current workspace num= 0
i= 2 current workspace num= 0
i= 3 current workspace num= 0
i= 4 current workspace num= 0
The "current workspace num" is totally wrong.
Why does Wnck behave like this?
BTW: I run this code on 64bit Ubuntu 9.10 with GNOME + Metacity Window
Manager (not Compiz WM).
$ metacity --replace
References: http://library.gnome.org/devel/libwnck/stable/
http://library.gnome.org/devel/libwnck/stable/WnckScreen.html#wnck-screen-get-active-workspace
I may start to use the "wmctrl" command directly.
It rocks but I would rather not be dependent on external tools,
subprocess'ing that from my Python modules.
Cheers,
Osmo (Moma) Antero
