#ewmh — Public Fediverse posts

Guess I *did* enter "shady areas" writing commit messages like this:

In theory, all #EWMH window managers should behave the same, I thought ... 😂🙈

Deep down the #X11 (#xcb) rabbit hole now.

I decided to add a tray icon. I want it optional, with configurable behavior (minimize-to-tray, close-to-tray, no-tray).

Adding this thing was super simple with Qt. Getting anything other than the default behavior ... not so much. Doing lots of things with plain #xcb now.

I'm stuck at hiding the tool from a taskbar. #EWMH has _NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR. In #fvwm (#fvwm3), this works when setting it before the window gets mapped. Sending it as a "client message" when the window is already mapped seems to be just ignored 😠

I then tried #KDE (#kwin). Hm well, doesn't even honor the _NET_WM_STATE property set on the window before mapping it, IOW, it's *always* shown in the taskbar.

WTF? 😖❓
