Gotcha. I didn't see _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW mentioned in the faq entry, and I see code in ion-3 that looks like this request is supported. However, when I send it, the window chosen isn't activated. Testing in gnome2 (metacity?) shows the same code working. Is _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW supported? -Jordan > >> extended wm hints spec, but it seems like ion claims that >> _NET_VIRTUAL_ROOTS is supported. > > Leftover from Xinerama hacks. > >> xprop(1) shows: >> _ION_WORKSPACE(STRING) = "WGroupWS<1>" > > It's the (internal) name of the currently selected region within > the mutually exclusive list of the screen.
