 |
|
I want to open an application in all desktops [from the command line].
I am not sure if it matters which Desktop/WM are being used. However, I use KDE and so if there is a specific KDE way to do this (ie. specify in a Desktop-item file to open to all desktops) I wouldn't mind hearing a way to do that aswell.
Also, if there is some C/C++ way of dealing with this, I wouldn't mind hearing about that, too.  |

sorry if you already know this, but in kde, all windows have a property that sets them to be in all desktops, it can be set by using a button in the top bar or if it's not there (it depends on the windows decoration) you can reach it by right clicking the bar and going to To Desktop/All Desktops

I assume your talkign about making the app "sticky" on start-up.
Most DE and WM have a session manager that will remember a windows' stick state. So run it once, set it sticky and log out of your session enabled DE/WM. Then log in and run it will already be running sticky, Or put a link to it in ~/Desktop/Autostart/ for most standards complient WM's run what is in there on startup.
I assume that there is also a way of specifying it on the command line for some WM but you would have to look at the doc's for your specific one. |
