c - Is there a Linux equivalent of SetWindowPos? -


a while ago wrote script in c used windows api functions enumwindows, setwindowpos , setforegroundwindow automatically arrange windows (by title) in particular layout commonly wanted.

are there linux equivalents these functions? using kubuntu, kde-specific and/or ubuntu-specific solutions fine.

the best way either in window manager (if yours supports extensions) or protocols , hints designed support "pagers" (pager = non-window-manager process window organization or navigation things).

the ewmh spec includes _net_moveresize_window designed use pagers. http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-1.3.html#id2731465

raw xlib or xcb pretty rough there's library called libwnck designed kind of thing you're talking about. (i wrote original library long ago it's been maintained others forever.) if don't use it, read code see how stuff. kde may have equivalent kde-style apis i'm not sure.

there should no need use kde or gnome or distribution specific since needed stuff spelled out in ewmh. said, window managers doing extension may easier writing separate app.

using old school x calls directly can made work there lots of details handle there require significant expertise if want iron out bugs , corner cases, in opinion, using wm extension api or pager library advice.

linux - xterm copying to CLIPBOARD using copy-selection causes automatic updating of CLIPBOARD upon mouse selection -

i've tried various ways coerce xterm (versions 285 , 292) copy selection clipboard clipboard whenever press ctrl-shift-c. promising way far has been, in ~/.xresources, put this: xterm*vt100.translations: #override \ ctrl shift <keypress> c: copy-selection(clipboard) \n\ ctrl shift <keypress> v: insert-selection(clipboard) ctrl-shift-v works perfectly, copying has nuance... if restart xterm, highlighting text puts things in primary clipboard; expected, proper, default behavior. if hit ctrl-shift-c, copies current selection clipboard clipboard. the bug, however, if highlight text after first time pressed ctrl-shift-c, you'll see highlighting copies both primary and clipboard. cannot figure out how stop xterm updating clipboard upon selection... , doesn't make sense me in first place. i said, @ specific point in time, copy selection clipboard... yet starts updating automatically upon selection after doing once... anyone have workaround...
