[pygtk] Handling new foreign windows in pygtk app.
Hello list,
I am trying to solve this problem:
In root-only environment (Anaconda installer) we are running very simple
C window manager (only taking care of setting focus of windows), Anaconda
pygtk GUI, and on demand nm-connection-editor (C Gtk+ application) can
be run.
In Anaconda (the pygtk app) I have class (constructor is taking Xid of
window)
for embedding nm-c-e foreign window using gtk.Socket. What I need now is
a mechanism
for notifying about appearing nm-c-e windows (providing their Xid), idally
it would allow to set a callback on event/notification.
My last idea was:
- catch CreateNotify events in the C window manager
- 'forward' them via ClientMessage to Anaconda pygtk app
(to a window W specified/found in window manager by its wmname),
sending Xid of created window
- in Anaconda pygtk app set client-event callback on the window W
which will use Xid to (eventually) embed the created window
Does it sound like it could work?
Especially, is X ClientMessage received in pyGtk app generating
client-event Gtk signal?
I made an example but it doesn't work - base.py doesn't call the ce-cb
callback when
I seem to send ClientMessage to its window.
I run two python processes (in my environment, metacity wm is running).
base.py:
#!/usr/bin/python
import pygtk
import gtk
def ce_cb(widget, event):
print "Got client event!"
window = gtk.Window(gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL)
# This doesn't help
#window.add_events(gtk.gdk.CLIENT_EVENT)
window.connect("client-event", ce_cb)
window.show()
gtk.main()
send_event.py:
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
import Xlib
from Xlib import display
from Xlib.protocol import event
d = display.Display()
s = d.screen()
children = s.root.query_tree().children
for c in children:
if c.get_wm_name() == "base.py":
break
else:
print "ERROR: base.py not found"
sys.exit(1)
# here I don't know exactly what I am doing to be honest
atom = d.intern_atom('WINDOW')
cm = event.ClientMessage(window = c,
client_type = atom,
data = (8, "01234567890123456789"))
c.send_event(cm)
d.flush()
What I am doing wrong?
Or is my whole concept wrong?
Thanks,
Radek

[pygtk] integration of C gtk app into pygtk app (in limited environment)
Hello list, I am trying to integrate nm-connection-editor which is C gtk app into Anaconda installer python GUI. There is a limited mini-wm window manager running in the environment. My goal is to take control over the nm-connection-editor window when the nm app is run (python UI being already running) so that: * the nm window behaves as modal I was experimenting with something like this: http://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2010-January/msg00037.html which basically means: - creating new gdk window from xid of nm-connection-editor - setting some python UI window as transient for it - setting modal hint of nm-connection-editor window to true but couldn't get it working (modality of nm window) * I can handle limited resolution of the python UI (800x600). - Moving nm window to the top a bit doesn't help because next window/dialog run from it is placed in the center again. Do you have any hints or pointers? Thanks, Radek ___ pygtk mailing list pygtk@daa.com.au http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://faq.pygtk.org/

[pygtk] interference between gtk.gdk.threads_init() and SIGCHLD handling
Hello, I wrote a python module which forks and execes a child. In the parent I made (with signal.signal()) handler to catch SIGCHLD and the parent calls gtk.main() to wait for the child's exit(). The SIGCHLD handler calls os.waitpid() and gtk.main_quit(). The module works fine alone, but when I incorporate it into application which is calling gtk.gdk.threads_init() before running it's mainloop, the SIGCHLD handler isn't called (after the the child's exit()). Could you tell me the reason and, possibly, recommend me how I can wait for the child in better way?

[pygtk] how to have tkwait in pyGTK
Hello, how can I do something like tkwait from Tcl/Tk in pyGTK (Python) I need to stop processing the code while waiting for results of dialog. (Actually I need to implement my own run() method in a class derived from MessageDialog).
