Description Danny Milosavljevic 2005-04-30 18:07:09 UTC
Adds a _NET_WM_PID property to be able to check the pid of the creator of the xterm window (i.e. the xterm process)

This is to have a decent relationship between processes and windows for upcoming xfce stuff (still in svn only)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

at http://svn.foo-projects.org/svn/xfce/pyxfce/trunk/patches/xterm-191-pid.patch, that is.

Thomas, I think you should see this patch -- if it's going to be a candidate for inclusion in some future release, then I can put it as part of a patchset for gentoo users.

Anyway, your call :)

I did notice it this morning while checking progress on the other
reports.  A quick glance at
http://library.n0i.net/linux-unix/standards/ex-hints/ar01s05.html
seems to show this is the only item that "must" be set by the
client.  I'll read more on this and probably adapt it in #203.
Comment 4 Thomas Dickey 2005-07-07 11:19:48 UTC
I added this (minor changes) in xterm patch #203.
Comment 5 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-08-05 05:18:40 UTC
Please everyone, test xterm-204 that just went into this tree to see if it
solves any of your issues.  It works pretty nicely for me.

Since thomas added this in 203 (but that never made it into portage, because I
couldn't even get it to work right for me) I'm closing this bug.  As of now 204
is in portage, but hard masked for testing/feedback.
Comment 7 Danny Milosavljevic 2006-02-22 02:16:19 UTC
this is in upstream too now

Patch #203 - 2005/7/6 - XFree86 4.5.99.7

Very nice :)
