I've tested it vefore with Xephyr (I will test with solutions you have provided), but as you said it will cost cpu so it is poor solution.
The best solution would be to implement it in awesome - do you have any news about furter development? I think somethink like black and white lists are not so hard to implement. I use skype to mainly to call somebody and I cannot tell my friends to change the protocol only because I dont want the skype on systray :D 2012/7/29 Andre Klärner <[email protected]> > On Sun, Jul 29, 2012 at 08:56:52PM +0200, wojtek danilo wrote: > > 2012/7/29 Andre Klärner <[email protected]> > > > I did it with a "(unset DISPLAY ; dropbox start ) &" in my ~/.Xsession. > > > > > > I don't know if this will also work with skype, but it might be worth > > > trying. > > > > very nice idea! > > It works perfectly with dropbox ut not with skype. > > Anyway - thank you very much for solving half of my problem :D > > Well, than that simply means that skype can't live without X11 - well, > let's give it what it want.
