Having workspaces/frames load + unload with applications.

Greetings!
 Happy New Year!

  Any one know if it's possible to have ION
load/unload
workspaces + frames with appliations? For example, I
have
an "GIMP" workspace, with a main frame and numerous
small
frames containing the various toolboxes. However, I
don't
want this frame when most of the time (when I switch
between
workspaces with forward/backward, I want the least
distance).
Instead, I want the GIMP frame to load when I run
GIMP, and
to unload when I unload GIMP.

  Of course, GIMP probably doesn't have function calls
to
communicate to ion for this -- is it possible to
create a
script like loadGimp; which would create the new
workspaces,
and then run Gimp?

  Hints/Ideas would be very welcome and apperciated.

Thanks in advance,
(Continue reading)

I tried now and compilation worked fine. With my package, that
is. What compilation errors do you get? If you didn't use my package
you'll have to change -pedantic-errors to -pedantic in system.mk since
it breaks on /usr/include/regex.h.

Yup, I actually try to build against your package  decommenting Xft
stuff from system.mk.

This is the output of the errors:

If someone's already posted this idea, sorry for the
repost (I haven't read through all of the archives).

Perhaps, in that case, it would be better to develop a
generalized "scripting" program. The program could be
called something like "ion-manip-frames", called with
say, "--dump", it would return all workspaces, frames,
and the current frame the user was in, all IDed, with
all of the names/classes/PIDs of the programs running
within the frames.

Then, called with "--create ID DIR", it would split
frame/workspace with ID blah into frames horizontally
or vertically. And so forth, with "--blah" for each
generalized form of function calls within ion.

BTW, I know some C/C++, but haven't taken a look at
the ion-devel code yet (other than the README and
Makefile), so I might be able to write a patch, but
it'll be a while. ;)

The problem is that you have libxft2-dev installed. This package
replaces (using a diversion) the header file
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h which normally belongs to xlibs-dev
which contains Xft version 1. Xft2 expects header files from
freetype2, which are not used by default when <freetype/freetype.h> is
included. Anyway, you have these options:

1. Remove libxft2-dev. The diversion will be removed and Xft1 will be
used.

2. Change all references to Xft.h in the Ion source code to Xft1.h

[OT]: I've been hacked :(


Hi,

I know this is off topic but I have to apologize for the mess I have
done tonight and maybe the nights before.

In fact someone unfair has hacked my box such a way that whenever I go
onto a site, a program  is started on each URL I visit and try
to copy the whole web site tree on my box.

I don't really know how long it has occur, but I have detected it
reading my logs and also when I saw that my FSes were fullfilled :(

One more time, I apologize. The problem has been fixed for now and
shouldn't occur in the future.

The targetted web site was the 'ion wiki' and AFAIK, the site should
have been disturbed during this period.

Best regards,

zeDek

crash of ion? was: can wm cause sig11?

Hi there!

I asked some time before if my Xserver crashed or (only) ion itself.
Somebody said, his ion-devel did not crash ever. So I am really
irritated. Today it happened again.
Another geek advised me to add an "ulimit -c 1000000" to my .xinitrc to
get a corefile, but it did not work :-( No corefile on the whole
filesystem :-) 

Is there an error?

cat .xinitrc
xplanetbg -projection hemisphere & ulimit -c 1000000 & exec ion

So, only Thing is what console was telling me afterwards:
Improper call to JPEG library in state 205

ulimit should run in the foreground.  Otherwise it will have no effect
on the following commands, because it will run in its own short-lived
subprocess, and its only purpose is to change the state of the process
it's in.
xplanetbg -projection hemisphere &
ulimit -c 1000000
exec ion
