Bringing a GtkWindow to the current desktop with libwnck
Hi all, I'm writing a program that needs to be single-instance. The program will only run on gnome desktop machines. I'm using dbus to ensure this, by having the program try a dbus rpc each time it starts. If there's a running instance, it responds to the rpc by calling gtk_window_present on the main window. However, if the user switches desktops and tries to run another instance, gtk_window_present will only cause the window to appear on the previous desktop, not the current one. I tried to get around this using libwnck. I call wnck_window_get(GDK_WINDOW_XID(main_window-window)), but the WnckWindow returned is always NULL. The X window ID seems to make sense (it's a large integer), so what am I doing wrong? Any alternate solutions to this problem are also welcome.

Building an OSX universal binary framework compatible with 10.4+ is not exactly easy like configure/make :) I have some notes from August '08 when I built gtk for osx with the x11 back end. Let me know if you are interested. Most of the steps should be about the same. It was sort of funny in the sense that I have still never even used osx in gui mode. A friend set me up a shell account on his osx box on our lan, and from there via ssh and no root access, I made it all the way to screen shots for a presentation. I was very Compile an X11 version or also a quartz version in the standard way it's quite easy, the problem is that u get a ton of libraries for only one architecture and it's really tough to fit them inside your application bundle. What I need are updated frameworks built like the one on www.gtk-osx.org, that are really outdated (2.14.3). Yesterday I've lost half of my afternoon trying to make the jhbuild scripts used to build universal frameworks to work without luck... The info on http://live.gnome.org/GTK%2B/OSX are not enough, neither are some other I found googling around... Maybe most of the problems I have are related to the fact I'm trying to compile on 10.4. -- Bye, Gabry ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list

Try this: WnckScreen *wnck_screen = wnck_screen_get_default(); wnck_screen_force_update(wnck_screen); ... before your wnck_window_get() call. -brian ___ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
