Hi!
This has been previously posted here:
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-devel&m=102985129803210&w=2
I need the information for this program:
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-devel&m=102964536723723&w=2
ksmserver starts applications to restore a session. Unlike kstart, which
starts apps on the current desktop and later moves them to another desktop,
ksmserver starts those apps seamlessly and without flicker and without
stealing focus.
ksmserver does the following:
void KSMServer::startApplication( const QStringList& command )
{
if ( command.isEmpty() )
return;
int n = command.count();
QCString app = command[0].latin1();
QValueList<QCString> argList;
for ( int i=1; i < n; i++)
argList.append( QCString(command[i].latin1()));
QByteArray params;
QDataStream stream(params, IO_WriteOnly);
stream << app << argList;
kapp->dcopClient()->send(launcher, launcher,
"exec_blind(QCString,QValueList<QCString>)", params);
}
However the complete code is quite complicated and I was unable to figure the
mechanism out, especially on which desktop the app ist started. It looks like
there is a dcop-object which gets an stream(string) of commands and
parameters - which format does this string have?
It would help me a lot if somebody could post a small code snipplet that uses
ksmserver's mechanism to start an app on a specific desktop into the
background (= without stealing focus).
Thanks very much,
Roland
