You'll want to consult the API documentation.
http://home.blarg.net/~sand/sawfish/
And the man page for sawfish-client should explain how to run Lisp inside
sawfish.
Feel free to come back with specific questions regarding sawfish, the API
docs, etc.

Hi all
In our research project, we need to pilot the window manager remotely in
order to add some interactivity and to validate a some hypotheses
(Wizard of
Oz method).
So we have several bash scripts and c/++ daemons managing contents and
events, and we would like to go further. For that, we would like to have
a
couple of more system scripts, but I am not sure exactly how to do them.
One script (let's call it « create_workspace ») is for creating a named
workspace in the last position of the workspace list. Its use would be
something like this:
___
$ wmctrl -d
0 * DG: 1344x1024 VP: 0,0 WA: 0,0 1216x1024 Write an email to uncle

2 - DG: 1344x1024 VP: 0,0 WA: 0,0 1216x1024 Web search
$ create_workspace "Divers"
$ wmctrl -d
0 * DG: 1344x1024 VP: 0,0 WA: 0,0 1216x1024 Write an email to uncle

3 - DG: 1344x1024 VP: 0,0 WA: 0,0 1216x1024 Divers

Also, we would need another script (named here « delete_workspace » ) for
deleting a precise workspace: this one is more tricky. We want to be
able to
delete a specific workspace (nor necessarily the last one) and update the
workspace list in order to not have any « hole » in it.
It could be something like this:

$ wmctrl -d
0 * DG: 1344x1024 VP: 0,0 WA: 0,0 1216x1024 Write an email to uncle

$ delete_workspace 1
$ wmctrl -d

We are having a look at sawfish-client, as it seems to be the best way of
doing this, but I cannot find any useful examples on how using it for
doing
things like this.
Can you help on those scripts, please ?
Regards,
Damien
