gdk_net_wm_supports ()

gboolean            gdk_net_wm_supports                 (GdkAtom property);

This function is specific to the X11 backend of GDK, and indicates whether the window manager for the default screen supports a certain hint from the Extended Window Manager Hints Specification. See gdk_x11_screen_supports_net_wm_hint() for complete details.

gdk_x11_screen_supports_net_wm_hint ()

gboolean            gdk_x11_screen_supports_net_wm_hint (GdkScreen *screen,
                                                         GdkAtom property);

This function is specific to the X11 backend of GDK, and indicates whether the window manager supports a certain hint from the Extended Window Manager Hints Specification. You can find this specification on http://www.freedesktop.org.

When using this function, keep in mind that the window manager can change over time; so you shouldn't use this function in a way that impacts persistent application state. A common bug is that your application can start up before the window manager does when the user logs in, and before the window manager starts gdk_x11_screen_supports_net_wm_hint() will return FALSE for every property. You can monitor the window_manager_changed signal on GdkScreen to detect a window manager change.

The application can use this call to update the _NET_WM_USER_TIME property on a toplevel window. This property stores an Xserver time which represents the time of the last user input event received for this window. This property may be used by the window manager to alter the focus, stacking, and/or placement behavior of windows when they are mapped depending on whether the new window was created by a user action or is a "pop-up" window activated by a timer or some other event.

Note that this property is automatically updated by GDK, so this function should only be used by applications which handle input events bypassing GDK.

Since 2.6

gdk_x11_register_standard_event_type ()

void                gdk_x11_register_standard_event_type

Registers interest in receiving extension events with type codes between event_base and event_base + n_events - 1. The registered events must have the window field in the same place as core X events (this is not the case for e.g. XKB extension events).

If an event type is registered, events of this type will go through global and window-specific filters (see gdk_window_add_filter()). Unregistered events will only go through global filters. GDK may register the events of some X extensions on its own.

This function should only be needed in unusual circumstances, e.g. when filtering XInput extension events on the root window.

Returns the X visual belonging to a GdkVisual.

gdk_x11_atom_to_xatom ()

Atom                gdk_x11_atom_to_xatom               (GdkAtom atom);

Converts from a GdkAtom to the X atom for the default GDK display with the same string value.

gdk_x11_atom_to_xatom_for_display ()

Atom                gdk_x11_atom_to_xatom_for_display   (GdkDisplay *display,
                                                         GdkAtom atom);

Converts from a GdkAtom to the X atom for a GdkDisplay with the same string value.

gdk_x11_xatom_to_atom ()

GdkAtom             gdk_x11_xatom_to_atom               (Atom xatom);

Convert from an X atom for the default display to the corresponding GdkAtom.

gdk_x11_xatom_to_atom_for_display ()

GdkAtom             gdk_x11_xatom_to_atom_for_display   (GdkDisplay *display,
                                                         Atom xatom);

Convert from an X atom for a GdkDisplay to the corresponding GdkAtom.

gdk_x11_get_xatom_by_name ()

Atom                gdk_x11_get_xatom_by_name           (const gchar *atom_name);

Returns the X atom for GDK's default display corresponding to atom_name. This function caches the result, so if called repeatedly it is much faster than XInternAtom(), which is a round trip to the server each time.

gdk_x11_get_xatom_by_name_for_display ()

Atom                gdk_x11_get_xatom_by_name_for_display
                                                        (GdkDisplay *display,
                                                         const gchar *atom_name);

Returns the X atom for a GdkDisplay corresponding to atom_name. This function caches the result, so if called repeatedly it is much faster than XInternAtom(), which is a round trip to the server each time.

Since 2.2

gdk_x11_get_xatom_name ()

const gchar*        gdk_x11_get_xatom_name              (Atom xatom);

Returns the name of an X atom for GDK's default display. This function is meant mainly for debugging, so for convenience, unlike XAtomName() and gdk_atom_name(), the result doesn't need to be freed. Also, this function will never return NULL, even if xatom is invalid.

gdk_x11_get_xatom_name_for_display ()

const gchar*        gdk_x11_get_xatom_name_for_display  (GdkDisplay *display,
                                                         Atom xatom);

Returns the name of an X atom for its display. This function is meant mainly for debugging, so for convenience, unlike XAtomName() and gdk_atom_name(), the result doesn't need to be freed.

Since 2.2
