Specifically, it was the functionality offered by KDE that inspired me. I just switched from KDE. It allows me to identify a window and give it certain properties whenever it opens.
I'm not in a rush to make this happen, so I'm leaning toward developing something myself. It may be for no other reason than as a learning experience.
I have a lot of experience with Perl and I've skimmed through the CPAN page for Gtk2::api, which basically tells me to read the C API documentation.
I've also been seeking inspiration to learn Python so that I can complete my LAMPPP stack (the one in my head). It looks like gnome-python/PyGTK has a lot of momentum and a strong community backing it up right now, so that would make it easier.
Whatever I do, I'll be sure to give it away.
Choices:
- Use what's already there: Devil's Pie or wmctrl.
- Use Perl with Gtk2::api: Perl's my favorite language. If I could/would specialize in one language, I this would be the one.
- Use Python, improve my OO habits, get that 3rd P under my belt, improve my CV, make friends, influence people, etc...
