Rui: > You can't use GDK like that form inside the window manager. I believe you, but why is that? What's the fundamental difference (happy to be referred to documentation here). Jasper: when I tried with gjs I got 'Gdk.Screen.get_default() is NULL'. Using Rui's advice: > Try the following before your code: > > const Gtk = imports.gi.Gtk; > Gtk.init(null); It works! So the code works from gjs but just not from looking glass. So I guess as Jasper said > It may be a case of doing things inside the compositor process vs. not. So if I want to do this in a GNOME shell extension I'll have to do it in a more roundabout way. Thank you so much Jasper & Rui; this has been confusing me mightily for quite a while! _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
