A patch to add a window property to GdlDock (1.90 KB, patch)
2009-04-22 21:20 UTC, Les Harris 		none Details | Review

Description Les Harris 2009-04-22 21:20:04 UTC 
Right now there is no way to access the underlying GtkWindow of a floating dock item.  This is a problem for me personally because I am putting VTE terminal widgets into dockitems and VTE likes to have GtkWindow geometry hints set.

Specifically, I want the floating window to resize by character widths/heights (like gnome-terminal for example) and to do this I need access to the GtkWindow, the GdkWindow of the dock item will not work.

Included with this bug is a patch that adds this property to GdlDock.  It is readonly and supplies either the pointer to the underlying GtkWindow if the dockitem is floating, or NULL if not.

So, gtk_widget_get_toplevel() doesn't already work?
Comment 3 Johannes Schmid 2009-05-27 07:24:46 UTC 
Would gtk_widget_get_toplevel() work for you?
Comment 4 Tobias Mueller 2010-01-13 04:26:47 UTC 
Les: Ping.
Comment 5 Tobias Mueller 2010-04-04 16:46:20 UTC 
I'm closing as NOTABUG based on the previous comments. Les, please reopen if you have any news. Thanks in advance.

Maintainers: There is a patch which I assume has to be rejected.
