neap - issue #2

active desktop not updated


Posted on Apr 30, 2010 by Helpful Hippo

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. run neap wit openbox
  2. change desktop by mouse wheel or keybind

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? neap should update the active desktop, but currently it keeps showing the first desktop as active

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? neap 0.4.1, Archlinux, Openbox with tint2

That's right, neap isn't aware of "external" desktop switches atm. I can't find a X11/PyGTK based solution, so I will probably use libwnck, which seems to handle this very well. I will release version 0.5 next sunday, which will solve the issue.

I think it's fixed now. I would be glad if anyone could download the latest version and check if it works.

Tried it on Openbox 3.4.11.1 with docker 1.5 for the system tray. It shows the correct desktop and changes correctly when switching with Openbox's hotkeys and with the mouse's scrollwheel on the desktop. It also worked fine when using wmctrl and xdotool to switch desktops. Oh, and FYI: It still says it's version 0.4.1.
