Details

GdkX11.x11_device_get_id(device)

Parameters:

device (GdkX11.X11DeviceXI2) – a GdkDevice

Returns:

the XInput2 device ID

Return type:

int

Returns the device ID as seen by XInput2.

GdkX11.x11_device_manager_lookup(device_manager, device_id)

Parameters:

• device_manager (GdkX11.X11DeviceManagerXI2) – a GdkDeviceManager

• device_id (int) – a device ID, as understood by the XInput2 protocol

Returns:

The GdkDevice wrapping the device ID, or None if the given ID doesn’t currently represent a device.

Return type:

GdkX11.X11DeviceXI2 or None

Returns the GdkDevice that wraps the given device ID.

GdkX11.x11_free_compound_text(ctext)

Parameters:

ctext (int) – The pointer stored in ctext from a call to GdkX11.X11Display.string_to_compound_text().

Frees the data returned from GdkX11.X11Display.string_to_compound_text().

GdkX11.x11_free_text_list(list)

Parameters:

list (str) – the value stored in the list parameter by a call to GdkX11.X11Display.text_property_to_text_list().

Frees the array of strings created by GdkX11.X11Display.text_property_to_text_list().

GdkX11.x11_get_server_time(surface)

Parameters:

surface (GdkX11.X11Surface) – a GdkSurface, used for communication with the server. The surface must have GDK_PROPERTY_CHANGE_MASK in its events mask or a hang will result.

Returns:

the time stamp

Return type:

int

Routine to get the current X server time stamp.

GdkX11.x11_get_xatom_by_name_for_display(display, atom_name)

Parameters:

• display (GdkX11.X11Display) – a GdkDisplay

• atom_name (str) – a string

Returns:

a X atom for a GdkDisplay

Return type:

int

Returns the X atom for a GdkDisplay corresponding to atom_name. This function caches the result, so if called repeatedly it is much faster than XInternAtom(), which is a round trip to the server each time.

GdkX11.x11_get_xatom_name_for_display(display, xatom)

Parameters:

• display (GdkX11.X11Display) – the GdkDisplay where xatom is defined

• xatom (int) – an X atom

Returns:

name of the X atom; this string is owned by GDK, so it shouldn’t be modified or freed.

Return type:

str

Returns the name of an X atom for its display. This function is meant mainly for debugging, so for convenience, unlike XAtomName() and the result doesn’t need to be freed.

GdkX11.x11_lookup_xdisplay(xdisplay)

Parameters:

xdisplay (xlib.Display) – a pointer to an X xlib.Display

Returns:

the GdkDisplay, if found, otherwise None.

Return type:

GdkX11.X11Display

Find the GdkDisplay corresponding to xdisplay, if any exists.

GdkX11.x11_set_sm_client_id(sm_client_id)

Parameters:

sm_client_id (str or None) – the client id assigned by the session manager when the connection was opened, or None to remove the property.

Sets the SM_CLIENT_ID property on the application’s leader window so that the window manager can save the application’s state using the X11R6 ICCCM session management protocol.
