[pygtk] wnck.window.is_visible_on_workspace(ws) not working under compiz
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.

[pygtk] How to get window decoration sizes?
Hi,
There has been a bug for some time relating to wnck set_geometry() not
placing windows as specified. (See my post in June
wnck.window.set_geometry() misbehaving and gnome bug 518606).
Alas, this bug still remains, and so as a work-around, I need to
determine the width/height of the decorations surrounding a window. I
am new to python and GTK, and it is not clear to me how to make a query
for these sizes.
I'm including my code below that illustrates how the new geometry
differs from the requested geometry.
Thanks for any tips,
Jason.
==
The following little program prints:
Requested: 1, 50, 550, 250
New : 4, 71, 548, 246
==
pygtk.require('2.0')
import gtk
import gobject
import wnck
class WindowPlacer:
def report(self, screen):
# Compare new geometry with requested geometry
window=screen.get_active_window()
geom = window.get_geometry()
print New : + repr(geom[0]) + , + repr(geom[1]) + , +
repr(geom[2]) + , + repr(geom[3])
# Quit the main loop
gtk.main_quit()
def place(self, screen):
window=screen.get_active_window()
# Indicate that we want to change all geometry params
flags=wnck.WINDOW_CHANGE_X | wnck.WINDOW_CHANGE_Y |
wnck.WINDOW_CHANGE_WIDTH | wnck.WINDOW_CHANGE_HEIGHT
# Set the geometry, flush pending events, and force an update
left=1
top=50
width=550
height=250
window.set_geometry(wnck.WINDOW_GRAVITY_NORTHWEST, flags, left, top,
width, height)
print Requested: + repr(left) + , + repr(top) + , + repr(width)
+ , + repr(height)
# 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.place, screen)
gtk.main()
screen.force_update()
# while gtk.events_pending() : gtk.main_iteration()
gobject.idle_add(self.report, screen)
gtk.main()
# This is the entry point if we are invoked on the command-line
if __name__ == __main__:
windowPlacer = WindowPlacer()
windowPlacer.main()

Re: [pygtk] wnck.window.set_geometry() misbehaving
It turns out that set_geometry() does not place windows as specified because it does not take window decorations, etc., into account: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=518606 A fix has been coded - I am awaiting release of same before going back to my window tiling app. J.

I think this is the best place too. I'm writing my first python program - my aim is to implement some window tiling support for gnome. After calculating window positions, I invoke wnck.window.set_geometry(), however the windows are not being placed according to the supplied x,y,width,height - see output code below. I think a minimal example that shows the problem will be a great help in trying to help you :) Anyway the bindings for this function are not being manually wrapped, so it's really weird. cheers ___ pygtk mailing list pygtk@daa.com.au http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/
