Looking through the FAQ (again) I noticed 1.14, which links to a c file (urgent.c) to raise the urgent flag. Although it doesn't crash or error, the appearance of the xterm in which it was run does not change. I can't see any urgency flag. (I've added a printf so that I know I'm calling the function.) Interestingly I saw a few "act:WScratchpad" flags this morning - Firefox raised a couple this morning because the network got hosed. So I tried running urgency on the scratchpad - bingo... The flag is set if it is called from the scratchpad when the scratchpad is hidden. It is cleared when the scratchpad is brought back into view, not when it is programatically canceled. Putting the terminal on a second vdesktop doesn't have this effect, neither does hiding it under other programs. Is Ion misbehaving and clearing the flag when the relevant window/title is in view? Am I misunderstanding what's meant to happen? Cheers John PS - My eventual aim is to make Thunderbird raise an urgency flag on receipt of new mail. My soundcard queues up warning sounds and plays them sequentially when my playlist finishes... (Great fat lot of help that is)
