_NET_WM_PING, _NET_WM_PID troubles [message #33837]

Hi everybody,

I wished to add WM_PING / WM_PID support for U++ topwindows.

I am successfill with WM_PING I guess - if I 'freeze' the window, pressing close button indeed invokes termination dialog after a while.

Unfortunately, saying yes in this dialog closes the window, but does not kill the process, which obviously is not right...

I have already spent about 8 hours trying everything to no success. I guess I need external fresh view of the isseue. Any ideas?

(The relevant code is in CtrlCore/TopWinX11.cpp, search for WM_PING and WM_PID)

Hi Mirek,

I tested on Xfce 4.8.2, U++ revision 3869, compiled with GCC and Clang in Debug mode. It works as expected for me. The freezed application is correctly terminated by KILL signal after clicking on yes in the "do you want to kill the unresponding window" dialog... The error might be in the desktop environment/window manager you use, not in U++ Wink
