Hi all, I sent this to both gtk-list and gnome-shell-list because I think my question is relevant to both subjects - I'm sorry if this was the wrong etiquette (also, if you think there is a mailing list this is more suited to, please let me know). I'm trying to remove the window decorations on the active window. Using pygobject: from gi.repository import Gdk # Gdk.__file__ verifies it's 3.0 curwin = Gdk.Screen.get_default().get_active_window() curwin.set_decorations(0) curwin.maximize() curwin.process_all_updates() When I execute this code (from python terminal/script), the current window (terminal) is undecorated correctly and maximised as I expect (I'm basically writing something to remove window decoration from maximised windows). Then I try this from the javascript bindings: const Gdk = imports.gi.Gdk; var curwin = Gdk.Screen.get_default().get_active_window(); curwin.set_decorations(0); curwin.maximize(); curwin.process_all_updates(); When I execute this code from the GNOME interactive gjs interpreter (looking glass), when I execute `curwin.set_decorations(0)` the window in question closes itself. For example, if the current window is a terminal and it has a process running in it I'll get the "Running process in terminal; are you sure you want to quit?" dialog, from which I can select Cancel (window will be maximised/undecorated as I wish). If there are no processes running in the terminal, it will simply quit! However, if execute this using the `gjs` binary (whether running GNOME-shell or unity+metacity) I get "ERROR: Gdk.Screen.get_default() is null" -- some environment variable not set up properly?? $DISPLAY is :0 as normal. So I'm only actually able to test the javascript version in GNOME-shell. If it's relevant, I'm using GNOME-shell 3.4 which uses Mutter (metacity + clutter) for the window manager. Does anyone know : 1) Why the javascript version quits the program whereas the python version doesn't? 2) How to make the javascript version work (i.e. not quit the window)? 3) If not any of the above, how I may debug this further/ whether & where to submit a bug report? I'd be grateful for any insight you have. I prefer to do this from javascript (since in the end it'll be put into a GNOME-shell extension), but I suppose as a last resort workaround I can call the python script from within the javascript to execute the code. Thank you very much! _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
