That's the _NET_WM_WORKAREA property on the root window (see the EWMH spec for details), but I dunno if wnck exports it. > 2) why does wnck.set_geometry not work for gnome-terminal? Not sure, might be some strange interaction between how your window manager interprets resize requests and how it interprets gnome-terminal's request to be assigned only certain sizes. > 3) How can I get the current gdk time? (0 gives a warning) Create a gtk.gdk.Window, make sure it has PROPERTY_CHANGE_MASK enabled in its event mask, and then call gtk.gdk.x11_get_server_time(that_window) Alternatively, you can read it out of some X events, including keypress events. This is the Correct thing to use in your case, because it avoids race conditions, but I don't know if the tomboy code you're using to issue passive grabs gives any way to get at this information. In PyGTK generally you can call .get_time() on a gtk.gdk.Event of the appropriate type. A general alternative to something like winsplit, of course, is a naturally tiling window manager. You might also be interested in my project, http://partiwm.org, which attempts to become such a wm and is written in pygtk. -- Nathaniel -- "Of course, the entire effort is to put oneself Outside the ordinary range Of what are called statistics." -- Stephan Spender _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list [email protected] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/
