*** Bug 99678 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Err the difference in the dupe is that we should be able to set it for
any window like any other hint... and it would be nice if it was not
"future"... Allowing it to be set by the programmer would not be much
work I think..

This has been open for two years. I know that at least gaim and gnomeicu set the
hint by using the X api directly.. it would be nice if Gtk supported that.. 

As MS Windows supports a very similar feature (it causes the window title and
entry in the task bar to flash) I think this should be added to GTK+.

gtk_window_set_urgency(GtkWindow *window, gboolean urgent);

should do the job.

Today I discovered http://www.people.virginia.edu/~mse5q/blink/ has libwnck and
Metacity patches to use this.  If these are applied then we'd have the ability
to actually see the urgency hint in GNOME...

Bug #120406 has the patch for Metacity support, bug #120439 has the (now merged)
patch for libwnck tasklist support. This would be a useful API to add now that
we're finally getting support for it in the other relevant components.

Ross, do you have a patch ?

Not too hand, but I'll try and make one shortly.

Too late, Ross
