I was thinking more along the lines of something passed in the environment, so it would work for programs started from a terminal or just simple scripts and so on, even remotely. Also a crucial element is a way to pass something to the window manager that identifies the launcher window. WM_LAUNCHED_BY or something. Of course, with there being such a property set by X programs aware of such by any mechanism, it would be a simple matter to check for the WINDOWID environment variable to see if we're running in a terminal and using that instead assuming a reliable kludges to deal with launches by X applications unaware of such protocols themselves launched from terminals. -- Tuomo _______________________________________________ wm-spec-list mailing list wm-spec-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/wm-spec-list
