I am implementing EWMH support for a window manager. While reading the spec, I noticed that it doesn't mention that programs with _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE = _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DOCK cannot be moved, however, other window managers and the dock programs themselves assume this. I could not find any information in the EWMH or ICCC specification that specifies this behavior, or that this behavior should be used for any other atoms with other dock-like functionality (e.g., setting struts). I tested this with the dock program "plank" and the window manager "awesome".
My questions then are: * Is this an example of behavior that is part of a "de facto" standard for interactions between window managers and clients, that EWMH/ICCC are only subsets of? Or, have I simply misread the spec, and this behavior actually is specified in it somewhere? * Is there a better resource for understanding how to correctly implement a window manager that supports these extensions than simply reading the source code of other window managers? Many thanks, - Ornxka _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s
