I don't have a debug version of KDE installed so stepping through would be
difficult. I tracked down the place it must be failing though. It's in
kdelibs-3.1/kdecore/netwm.cpp at the end of NETWinInfo::update. This is
the code:
p->pid = 0;
if (XGetWindowProperty(p->display, p->window, net_wm_pid, 0l, 1l,
False, XA_CARDINAL, &type_ret, &format_ret,
&nitems_ret, &unused, &data_ret) == Success) {
if (type_ret == XA_CARDINAL && format_ret == 32 &&
nitems_ret == 1) {
p->pid = *((long *) data_ret);
}
if ( data_ret )
XFree(data_ret);
}
One of the first two if's must be failing but I'm not sure why.
Ah, now I'm noticing something interesting. *All* nedit windows return pid
0 in the loop. It must be something about NEdit not setting the window
property. If anybody knows what a client needs to do to make the code
above work please let me know. In the meantime I'll try to figure it out
for myself.
Thanks,
