hm, after reading some dbus docs I realized that we should always be sending a reply message to method calls unless the no_reply flag is set. I wasn't aware of this... it's fixed now though. Nevertheless, even though it should work now, I wouldn't necessarily make synchronous method calls if I were you. You don't have to use threads to do asynchronous method calls. Whatever dbus bindings you're using should have a non-blocking way to send messages. I wouldn't want to block for each method call if I were setting a large amount of options. > > > I'm hoping that this is fixed now, not sure though.

Do you not get the same results? $ dbus-send --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.compiz /org/freedesktop/compiz/wobbly/screen0/map_window_types org.freedesktop.compiz.get method return sender=:1.22 -> dest=:1.40 $ dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.compiz /org/freedesktop/compiz/wobbly/screen0/map_window_types org.freedesktop.compiz.set string:'Normal' string:'Unknown' $ dbus-send --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.compiz /org/freedesktop/compiz/wobbly/screen0/map_window_types org.freedesktop.compiz.get method return sender=:1.22 -> dest=:1.42 string "Normal" string "Unknown" $ dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.compiz /org/freedesktop/compiz/wobbly/screen0/map_window_types org.freedesktop.compiz.set $ dbus-send --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.compiz /org/freedesktop/compiz/wobbly/screen0/map_window_types org.freedesktop.compiz.get method return sender=:1.22 -> dest=:1.44 -David _______________________________________________ compiz mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/compiz
