RE: How to get the titles for all top level windows
Hi Wally, Thanks for your quick response. But is there any way I can get the list of all the windows of all applications, just like what a Window manager would maintain?

It doesn't have a way to reach through the X server and query which X apps are gtk apps, and query them for how many top-level windows _they_ have. Each of your apps (that you've instrumented) apparently have only one top-level window. gtk supports having more than one top-level window in an application, but apparently none of the apps in which you make that call are using more than 1. // Wally -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Office: 619.278.2084 Cell: 619.990.2286 ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list

To actually get all the toplevel windows, you could either use raw Xlib, or there's probably something in libwnck that could help you. -brian ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
