[07:49] <sainathas> how to move application from one desk to another through a c program?what functions do i need to call?
[07:57] <sainathas> i want to move my application from one virtual desktop to another dynamically through a program How can i do it?
[08:08] <sainathas> can anyone tell me how to do that?
[08:11] <sainathas> is anyone online?
[08:37] <ottoshmidt> anyone here?
[08:39] <sainathas> may be
[08:40] <ottoshmidt> anyone can help me with ubuntu login window settings?
[10:21] <sainathas> i have installed devilspie and want to move the firefox to workspace 2 when i write set_workspace 2 it says there is no workspace 2 I have 2 virtual desktops by default
[10:21] <sainathas> can any one tell me where i have gone wrong
[10:22] <Hobbsee> (set_workspace 4)
[10:22] <Hobbsee> (set_viewport 4)
[10:23] <Hobbsee> i think you'll want to try the viewport version
[10:23] <Hobbsee> because compiz does viewpoints, not workspaces, iirc.
[10:23] <Hobbsee> (or just set them both, like i have)
[10:23] <Hobbsee> so it works for metacity & compiz
[11:51] <sainathas> i have moved an application from one desk to another using devilspie
[11:51] <sainathas> but i am not able to focus it
[11:52] <sainathas> tell me how to move to that workspace which we already moved our application in ubuntu
[11:53] * Hobbsee suggests 'man devilspie'
[11:53] <Hobbsee> looks like there's a 'focus' option there too
[11:54] <sainathas> focus option is there but it works only for current window
[11:54] <sainathas> as our window is already moved to another view port
[11:54] <sainathas> i think it is not working
[11:55] <Hobbsee> then i'd say devilspie probably does'nt support it
[11:56] <sainathas> can u tell me what is this workspace thing?
[11:58] * Hobbsee notes these are support questions, and hsould be in #ubuntu
[11:58] <sainathas> ok
[11:59] <sainathas> can u tell me any apllication which should move my aplli to another view port but can also focus it?
[12:00] <Hobbsee> i don't know of one
[12:03] <sainathas> ok thanks fo rur info
[12:04] <Hobbsee> you're welcome
