doctormoevilvish: We have logs!17:26
darkmattercoz_: I'm doing something evil to window management. hehe17:37
coz_darkmatter,  sorry about that    ...damn fingers17:38
darkmatternp. starting work on my first compiz plugin. *crossing fingers*17:39
evilvishdoctormo: yay!17:45
doctormoevilvish: pm me17:45
coz_darkmatter,  very cool :)17:48
darkmattercoz_: something simple but lacking. I think I'll call it stacker. the _basic_ functionality is in compiz already, but needs improving17:48
coz_darkmatter,   well  talk with smspillaz  if you want.. I am sure he can help out with it...17:48
coz_darkmatter,  just not at this moment  ,, I think it is near 6am tomorrow for him :)17:49
darkmattercoz_: just an improvement to having focus but no raise on click. I want something a bit more functioning17:50
coz_ah ok17:50
thorwilhi doctormo. do you have an idea how to do what subprocess.check_output() does in python before 2.7?17:52
darkmattercoz_: kinda like amiga had (if you've ever don teh amiga)17:53
doctormothorwil: Yes, I have ideas. What are you trying to do?17:53
coz_darkmatter,  no I havent17:53
coz_darkmatter,  you mean mouse over  focus?17:54
thorwildoctormo: wrap gconftool-2 --set and --get commands in python17:54
darkmattercoz_: moving windows by the titlebar didn't change focus/raise windows unless you _wanted_ it to17:54
coz_darkmatter,  oh ok17:54
doctormothorwil: Why don't you just use the python based gconf lib?17:55
thorwildoctormo: that is, i need the output o fthings like: gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename17:55
darkmatterfocus could be fixed regardless of action/position/etc. so you could cut/paste etc from active to inactive without having focus being stolen17:55
thorwildoctormo: because i didn't think of that at all! thanks :}17:55
thorwil*head-desk*17:56
darkmattercoz_: like I said. basic functionality is already there, just needs enhancing17:56
coz_darkmatter,  that sounds  nice actually17:56
doctormothorwil: So you know: gconf access is not available if you're running from a cron job or outside of the gnome session on a different tty17:56
darkmattercoz_: it is. it's one of the things I wish had carried over back in the day. that's one of the things that made multitasking so much fun. windows respected you :P17:58
coz_darkmatter,  cool... I hope you do t his... submit it... I would like to try it :)17:58
