Checks that the libxfce4windowing library in use is compatible with the given version. Generally you would pass in the constants Libxfce4windowing.MAJOR_VERSION, Libxfce4windowing.MINOR_VERSION and Libxfce4windowing.MICRO_VERSION as the three arguments to this function; that produces a check that the library in use is compatible with the version of libxfce4windowing the extension was compiled against.

const gchar *mismatch;
mismatch = libxfce4windowing_check_version(LIBXFCE4WINDOWING_MAJOR_VERSION,
                                           LIBXFCE4WINDOWING_MINOR_VERSION,
                                           LIBXFCE4WINDOWING_MICRO_VERSION);
if (G_UNLIKELY(mismatch != NULL)) {
  g_error("Version mismatch: %s", mismatch);
}

Libxfce4windowing.error_quark()

Return type:

int

Libxfce4windowing.set_client_type(client_type)

Parameters:

client_type (Libxfce4windowing.ClientType) – A Libxfce4windowing.ClientType

Sets the type of the application. This is used when sending various messages to control the behavior of other windows, to indicate the source of the control. In general, Libxfce4windowing.ClientType.APPLICATION will be interpreted as automated control from a regular application, and Libxfce4windowing.ClientType.PAGER will be interpreted as user-initiated control from a desktop component application like a pager or dock.

This does nothing on Wayland, but is safe to call under a Wayland session.

New in version 4.19.3.

Libxfce4windowing.windowing_get()
