25 # This is the shell script frontend for the adesklets interpreter, introduced
26 # in adesklets 0.4.11. It serves a couple simple purposes:
28 # - Bring all the fake-root windows detection code out of the binary
29 # interpreter, and detect them from a front-end. It makes it far simpler
30 # and quicker to adapt to new situations, as this code is no longer written
31 # in C, but in a sh-compatible scripting form. Hopefully, in this new format,
32 # people will be able to contribute new detection routines for specific
33 # Window Manager easily.
35 # - Print out a couple of warnings to hopefully prevent some people that
36 # would not read the fourth chapter from the manual from not invoking
37 # adesklets right.
39 # - Add a couple of functionalities, such as configuration file cleanup, and
40 # desklets killing.
42 # PORTABILITY NOTICE:
43 # ===================
45 # This shell script was made to comply with the POSIX 1003.2 and 1003.2a
46 # specification for the shell, and not use any vendor-specific extension
47 # for any program invoked. It has been tested on both BASH 3.00.16 and NetBSD
48 # ash 1.6.1 on a variety of platforms. It also uses some low-level, fairly
49 # common utilities or builtin, all also described in POSIX, namely:
51 # 1) a Streaming EDitor (sed). It as been tested on GNU sed 4.0.9, and FreeBSD
52 # 4.9 sed
53 # 2) test, conforming to POSIX 1003.2
54 # 3) mkdir and rmdir
55 # 4) sleep
56 # 5) kill
57 # 6) ls
58 # 7) ps (only for the -w switch)
60 # The xprop and xwinfinfo programs can also be used, if a given fake-root
61 # window detection routine is explicitely invoked. Both XFree86 and X.org
62 # implementations of these utilities have been tested. Window Manager specific
63 # detection will also potentially need WM specific programs:
65 # kde: need consolde dcop client

132 Fake root window detection
133 --kde KDE >= 3.4.1 desktop detection
134 --nautilus Nautilus desktop detection
135 --rox ROX-Filer detection (incomplete)
136 --user Interactive detection (by user click)
137 --xfce4 Xfce4 desktop detection (tested on Xfce4 4.2.x,
138 with xfdesktop managing the icons)
139 --xffm Xffm desktop window detection (tested on xffm 4.3.3.1,
140 with xffm-deskview managing the icons)
142 --do-it-once When applicable, do not run the detection for each desklet,
143 but only once for all. Of course, desklets on multiple
144 screens will unlikely detect the right fake root window, but
145 it will speed things up for single screen settings.

148 -w progname Wait for at least one 'progname' instance to run under
149 the current user id (UID) before performing any further
150 action

152 further action

155 a pseudo terminal

160 -k,--killall Kill all running, registered desklets

162 (this implies \`--killall')
163 -i,--installer Invoke the desklet frontend installer
164 (requires Python)
165 -f script Execute command set from the \`script' file
167 If no \`string_id' is given, adesklets acts as a launcher (unless
168 the \`-f' switch is involved). Otherwise, adesklets acts as
169 an interpreter, if no \`-k' or \`-c' switch is used.
171 The most usual invokation of adesklets is the bare \`adesklets' command,
172 without arguments: it makes adesklets launch every registered desklets
173 from \$HOME/.adesklets, without any fake root window detection.
