I don't know what is the lifecycle of those two windows so I'm not sure when it is effective to set the title of both windows and how long it lasts. At least in Maemo where screen resolution/depth does not change it looks like the are both allocated once in the beginning and kept all the time so the title sticks when set like this when switching fullscreen on on off. The 'if (win)' is needed for me in scummvm since I have no precise control of when the title is set and I've seen segfaults in XStoreName when it was called too early at startup.

Re: How to get a program window into the task/window switcher?
Incidentally, this only happens because libSDL uses Xutf8TextListToTextProperty() in SDL_x11vm.c to set the window title. Commented a few lines to make it use XStringListToTextProperty() and using SDL_WM_SetCaption() worked to set the title without any Xlib tricks. I can't be bothered, personally, to open a bug as I know it will not be fixed for Diablo but (assuming that the Fremantle hildon-desktop doesn't support UTF-8 strings for titles) anyone else is free to open a bug. P.S: Frantisek, have any plans on updating the Game_development wiki page with your tip? It'd help those who do not subscribe here.

Brilliant, thanks for that, I've sometimes forgot to do it when the a game in question lets you set the video mode from the menu. That tip should help.

Re: How to get a program window into the task/window switcher?
Well, apps using a HildonWindow don't *strictly* do it either (Hildon sets the name of the binary as the first line which is odd IMHO) . But for GTK: you get the first line by using g_set_application_name() and then gtk_window_set_title() for the second line. But believe it or not, this isn't hard to do at all... char *name = "Title to show on first line - Title to show on second line" and then pass that char to XStoreName as the third argument: http://i44.tinypic.com/348sy2a.png Best Regards, qwerty12 On Wed, Apr 29, 2009 at 1:21 PM, Frantisek Dufka wrote: > Faheem Pervez wrote: > > For C programs, Mikkov made the following code which works a treat for > > SDL stuff: > > http://wiki.maemo.org/Game_development#Set_the_window_title > > > > This is great and works fine to set first line in task switcher window > list but it would be nice to put something to second line too like > hildonized apps do.

Re: How to get a program window into the task/window switcher?
Hello Faheem,
thank you so much for your detailed "manual" :)
I got xprop from here:
deb http://austinche.name/maemo/ bora/
But libxmuu1 is required for the xprop installation, so I got libxmuu1
from here:
deb http://repository.maemo.org/ chinook free non-free
Now I started xprop via SSH and the StartupWMClass is
"sun-awt-X11-XFramePeer" and I wrote this file:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=SmartHome GUI
Exec=/home/user/run.sh
StartupWMClass=sun-awt-X11-XFramePeer
When I start my application than I have my application in the
tast/window switcher :)
I ask me why a simple desktop file, which is only a shortcut in my eyes,
brings my application into the task/window switcher although I DO NOT
start my applicaton by clicking on the shortcut... I start my
application by hand in the terminal and it is also in the task/window
switcher :D Can you explain this "feature", please :) ?
Greatings, Martin

Re: How to get a program window into the task/window switcher?
Not sure, I can't even bring up a task switcher in the Alpha Fremantle SDK! For C programs, Mikkov made the following code which works a treat for SDL stuff: http://wiki.maemo.org/Game_development#Set_the_window_title Dunno how you'd get a python equivalent (I built python-xlib and fixed it up to work in Diablo in hope it could be used to do the same but I could never see a way to do so...) Can't hurt reporting it as you'll get an answer as to whether it's fixed anyway :) Best Regards, Faheem On Mon, Apr 27, 2009 at 4:34 PM, Thomas Wälti wrote: > > And, lo and behold, I get my icon shown: > > http://i39.tinypic.com/avllrn.png > > > > (Ignore that the window title is shown as unknown - this is something > > specific to SDL under Maemo) > > Ah how I hate that bug - makes pygame apps looking so amateurish. > Checking Bugzilla, I believe no one ever reported that issue.

Re: How to get a program window into the task/window switcher?
You can use xprop to get the WMClass of the application and make a desktop file and add the WMClass given to the StartupWMClass argument in the desktop file. It's done with SDL apps and some Xlib apps to get the icon shown.
