Chicos, a ver si me dan una mano con esto:
Yo he implementado un código en python (usando las funciones de xlib,
con python-xlib) que debería resolver el problema de poner la ventana
de la aplicación cliente por debajo de las demás y a su vez ocultar la
entrada de la barra de tareas. El mismo, no tiene efecto por eso
implementé el código en c++ usando un wrapper para python, el cual
funciona perfectamente. Ahora esto, es una solución temporal.. ya que
no es ideal mezclar lenguajes al menos que sea estrictamente necesario.
Por lo tanto, había posteado en la lista de correo de la gente de
python-xlib el cual me respondieron lo sgte.:

Hi Gustavo,
I had a play with your sample code and, after a bunch of
struggling around, managed to get somewhere. It looks like the
problem is that you're sending the _NET_WM_STATE messages before
the window is mapped. If you instead split the program into two -
one that brings up your GUI, then a separate test one that sets
the _NET_WM_STATE for your window, it works (for me anyway).
To be more explicit, I ran your existing program and left it up.
Then I used xwininfo to get the window id and added it to this
little program (basically a hacked up version of what you had):
-------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
from Xlib import X, display, protocol
def _change_state(window):
disp = display.Display()
rootw = disp.screen().root
ctype = disp.intern_atom("_NET_WM_STATE")
state = disp.intern_atom("_NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR")
data = [1, state] + [0] * 3
ev = protocol.event.ClientMessage(client_type = ctype, window
= window, data = (32, data))
mask = X.SubstructureRedirectMask | X.SubstructureNotifyMask
print "sending", ev, mask, "for", window
rootw.send_event(ev, event_mask = mask)
disp.flush() # need this or the program terminates too fast
if __name__ == "__main__":
# change this id!
_change_state(0x3a0001b)
-------------------------------------
When I ran this it made my opencoffee client window disappear from
the taskbar, as one would expect.
I also found it useful to poke around a bit with xprop, but the
thing that really helped me find this was to run "xev -id <root
window id>", add a few sleeps to your program and see what
happened - you can clearly see the _NET_WM_STATE message is sent
before the window is mapped. Here's a snippet from an earlier test:
-------------------------
sending Xlib.protocol.event.ClientMessage(data = (32, [1, 308, 0,
0, 0]), window = 94371867L, client_type = 249, type = 33,
sequence_number = 0) 1572864 for 94371867
ClientMessage event, serial 18, synthetic YES, window 0x5a0001b,
message_type 0xf9 (_NET_WM_STATE), format 32
ConfigureNotify event, serial 18, synthetic NO, window 0x13a,
event 0x13a, window 0x5a0001b, (460,392), width 360, height 240,
border_width 0, above 0x134dd32, override NO
PropertyNotify event, serial 18, synthetic NO, window 0x13a,
atom 0x132 (_NET_CLIENT_LIST), time 381617232, state
PropertyNewValue
PropertyNotify event, serial 18, synthetic NO, window 0x13a,
atom 0x133 (_NET_CLIENT_LIST_STACKING), time 381617232, state
PropertyNewValue
MapNotify event, serial 18, synthetic NO, window 0x13a,
event 0x13a, window 0x5a0001b, override NO
PropertyNotify event, serial 18, synthetic NO, window 0x13a,
atom 0x132 (_NET_CLIENT_LIST), time 381617234, state
PropertyNewValue
...
-------------------------
So, in short, I figure if you do the send event after you've done
app.exec_() (probably as a startup event handler of some kind?),
it should be ok.
Hope this helps :)
Cheers,
Mike.

A ver si alguien de uds chicos me ayuda a solucionarlo. El código
original que yo he escrito está en OpenCoffee_client.py. Eso si,
obvien la parte de la importación del código en C++.
Exactamente dicho código de xlib está a partir de la línea 40 a 55, y
luego dentro del la función principal se hace la llamada al mismo.
Habría que interpretar bien la solución que este muchacho
agradablemente me ha otorgado. Luego lo leo bien, ahora ando medio con
poco tiempo... así de paso repartimos un poco la tarea...
