Apologies; I meant to write 'libxosd' rather than 'libosd'. See http://www.ignavus.net/software.html for more info about the library. Subject: Re: New: Desktop contents not hidden when xosd used to flash up msgs

An interesting one. Could you please add the relvant parts of the python
script to bugzilla so that I can reproduce it myself and hopefully fix it.
Thanks.
The script follows. Pyosd must be installed. Use the program like 'progname hello':
------------
#!/usr/bin/env python
import pyosd, sys, os, string, time
TIMEOUT = 2
if len(sys.argv) < 2:
msg = sys.stdin.read()
else:
msg = string.join(sys.argv[1:], ' ')
print msg
d = pyosd.osd()
d.set_pos(pyosd.POS_BOT)
d.set_timeout(TIMEOUT)
d.set_shadow_offset(2)
d.display(msg)
time.sleep(TIMEOUT)

PyOSD script attached
Sorry, should have attached the script instead of pasting it in -- formatting
was lost.
kdesktop_lock in HEAD now tries much harder to stay on top of everything. |
