Description Rob Adams 2003-06-04 05:43:37 UTC 
When launching child processes in keybinding.c (handle_run_command)
metacity should implement the launcher part of the startup notification
spec to tell itself that a window is about to be launched.

Heh, I should be more aware of existing Metacity bugs...I just filed bug 167630
about this exact issue.  Should I mark that as a duplicate of this bug or
vice-versa?

How to do this:

I will try to look at it in a bit if nobody else does.
Comment 5 Elijah Newren 2007-11-29 05:08:48 UTC 
Note that metacity already links to libsn (startup-notification library).  We just need to use the appropriate bits for sending the messages at application launch in addition to using libsn for handling receipt of such messages.  One other tip is that gnome-desktop and nautilus have a fair amount of libsn-message-sending code, though they take care of a lot of additional stuff we might not need to worry about as well.  But, it may be useful to look at...

Does this assume that every key binding will open a window?  Because many don't.
