Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2001 22:48:06 -0700 To: James Cameron From: Neal McBurnett Subject: periodically raise gfocustimer I would think it should be easy to add code to gfocustimer to raise the window periodically, since that level of window-manager stuff is pretty well standardized and I would assume it is part of GTK+, but I haven't done it myself from an app.... In the meantime, for folks using the sawfish window manager, this code will automatically raise the window every 5 minutes. Add this to .sawfishrc: (defun raise-window-by-title (title &optional preferred-space) "Raise the window titled W, then focus on W." ;; display-window is higher-level version of warp-cursor-to-window ;; code from prompt-for-window /usr/share/sawfish/0.30.3/lisp/prompt-wm.jl ;; and /usr/share/sawfish/0.30.3/lisp/iconify.jl (raise-window (cdr (assoc title (mapcar (lambda (w) (cons (window-name w) w)) (managed-windows) )))) ) Put this in a shell script named "bugme" or something like that, and run it: while true; do sawfish-client -q -e '(raise-window-by-title "gfocustimer")' sleep 300 done Cheers, Neal McBurnett http://bcn.boulder.co.us/~neal/ GPG/PGP signed and/or sealed mail encouraged.
