Assuming this is of rare interest and we would want to limit X11 roundtrips and pointer tracking. The WM could then simply set the strategy (mouse/active window) and ::activeOutput() could check that to calculate the reult on request. KWindowSystem could (on connect notify) track the mouse/active window to emit the signal. This way tracking would only be required if/while some client is really interested. Downside is that 2 or more clients could be tracking simultanously. Benefit would be that other WMs can adapt this very easily and we don't rely on XI2 support (what will probably also not work if the mouse is navigated by the keyboard?) src/netwm.cpp https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/115137/#comment36930 The API says the parameter can be NULL, nstrdup will then return a casted nullptr and this will segfault.

--- This is an automatically generated e-mail. To reply, visit: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/115137/#review4 --- s/screen/output A screen is a virtual surface that may cover multiple outputs. An output represents a section of the screen geometry that's visible on a monitor. The ID returned by activeScreen() is an output ID. The documentation should explain how the active output relates to the primary output, and how the client is expected to use each. - Fredrik Höglund On Jan. 20, 2014, 1:14 p.m., Martin Gräßlin wrote: --- This is an automatically generated e-mail.

--- This is an automatically generated e-mail. To reply, visit: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/115137/#review47824 --- given the ratio by this property is set (often) and read (rarely), i wonder whether we could establish a semi-async functionality, where the client sends a message to have the property updated, then syncs, reads and returns the updated property? reg. screen ./. output terminology: we've active screen everywhere and we can probably not expose the screen/output problem to end users. Also Qt talks of screen in this regard. I'd suggest to keep activeScreen and specify the meaning in the comment. - Thomas Lübking On Jan. 20, 2014, 1:14 p.m., Martin Gräßlin wrote: --- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
