Thanks for the reply mate. But this really sucks! :( Maybe we should compile a huge list of window classes for every apps that people are using and generate a text file. So that the next person who wants to build let's say 250 eaps on the fly can instruct it's script to just read the window class from the text file and move on. It's a wild idea but at least it's one. I've concocted some pretty nice scripts but without getting a proper window class, they are pretty much useless. -- With kind regards, Didier. ------------ Yum/apt repository for DR17/EFL: http://sps.nus.edu.sg/~didierbe Didier F.B Casse PhD candidate, Singapore Synchrotron Light Source (SSLS) National University of Singapore. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
