Re-hello,
The wnck library seems to have many useful functions.
I made this based on your example.
import gtk, gobject, wnck
class SwitchDesktop(object):
def __init__(self):
self.screen = wnck.screen_get_default()
def switch(self, desktop_num):
self.screen = wnck.screen_get_default()
print "desktop_num=", desktop_num
print "get_workspace_count=", self.screen.get_workspace_count()
if desktop_num + 1 > self.screen.get_workspace_count():
desktop_num = 0
workspace = self.screen.get_workspace(desktop_num)
workspace.activate(gtk.get_current_event_time())
gtk.main_quit()
c = SwitchDesktop()
# switch to desktop number 1 (0 based)
gobject.idle_add(c.switch, 1)
gtk.main()
# --------------------
It works well.
Thank you.
