Ahh, now that makes more sense. That is why I was always getting a 0
return. Okay. Yeah I had thought of altering kwinrc directly on
initialization, just thought it would be much cleaner to act on the window
directly once the plasmoid detects that it is maximized.
And yes, you are correct. I wanted to implement the window control in the
panel feature of Unity, only better
Thanks!
in Christ,
Brian

Sorry, actually nobody took care of your question after martins post<br>

Your code does not work for fundamentally false implementation, because this<br>
<div>QWidget *activeWidget = QWidget::find(m_activeWindow);<br>
</div>looks for a WinID in a (usually) different process.<br>
<br>
You'll have top operate on the X11 window, ie. only<br>
KWindowSystem::activeWindow() (all other code there to determine the<br>
correct window is superflous) and then have to use the KWindowSystem<br>
routines as well to alter it's state (activation etc.)<br>
YOU CAN NOT MAKE USE OF QWIDGET FOR GENERAL WINDOWS THAT DON'T BELONG<br>
TO YOUR APPLICATION!<br>
<br>
"Unfortunately there's no KWindowSystem function to set motif hints,<br>
because the support actually more or less *was* legacy from the<br>
beginning on (and inofficial - the Motif hints have always been<br>
"proprietary" a MWM feature) and for that reason there will probably<br>
not be one ever, so you'll have to use XChangeProperty directly (and<br>
trust me: on the motif hints that's no fun even if you know to safely<br>
operate on XChangeProperty, be careful to not break things...) :-(<br>
<br>
I guess you want to do some Unity clone:<br>
simply read/set/reset the kwin config key from your plasmoid and<br>
trigger a kwin config reload via dbus then.<br>
You should also document (tell your users) that you do so in case<br>
anything goes wrong ;-)<br>
