Description Vincent Untz 2007-06-15 22:36:24 UTC 
The following patch adds wnck_screen_get_window_manager_name() which is based on _NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK.

Review welcome :-)

Looks fine to me.  If we ever get a _NET_WM_VERSION property (a standardized version of the _METACITY_VERSION property currently used) then we should be able to easily add it.   Curious, though, any use case in mind?
Comment 3 Vincent Untz 2007-06-15 23:49:16 UTC 
Thanks! Only one use case in mind right now: bug 345153 :-) And, well, covering more of the EWMH can only be good!
