It builds on -and extends the ICCCM (See Section 3). A copy of the current EWMH -standard is available at http://freedesktop.org/Standards/wm-spec/ - - a. Root Window Properties - ------------------------- - -+ _NET_SUPPORTED (1.3) - -+ _NET_CLIENT_LIST (1.3) - -+ _NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS (1.3) - -+ _NET_DESKTOP_GEOMETRY (1.3) - Metacity does not implement large desktops, so this is kept set to - the screen size. - -+ _NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT (1.3) - Metacity does not implement viewports, so this is a constant (0,0). - -+ _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP (1.3) - -+ _NET_DESKTOP_NAMES (1.3) - -+ _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW (1.3) - -+ _NET_WORKAREA (1.3) - -+ _NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK (1.3) - -+ _NET_VIRTUAL_ROOTS (1.3) - Metacity does not read or set this property, but it does not use - virtual roots to implement virtual desktops, so it complies with the - specification. - -+ _NET_DESKTOP_LAYOUT (1.3) - -+ _NET_SHOWING_DESKTOP (1.3) - - b. Root Window Messages - ----------------------- - -+ _NET_CLOSE_WINDOW (1.3) - -- _NET_MOVERESIZE_WINDOW (1.3) - Metacity supports this message, but the specification is unclear on - the layout of the detail value, and as such it is #if 0'd in the code - -+ _NET_WM_MOVERESIZE (1.3) - -- _NET_RESTACK_WINDOW (1.3) - Metacity will raise or lower windows in response to this message, - but the sibling restack modes are not supported, and it is currently - #if 0'd in the code. - -+ _NET_REQUEST_FRAME_EXTENTS (1.3) - - c. Application Window Properties - -------------------------------- - -+ _NET_WM_NAME (1.3) - -+ _NET_WM_VISIBLE_NAME (1.3) - Metacity does not set this property, but metacity will never display - a name different from _NET_WM_NAME - -+ _NET_WM_ICON_NAME (1.3) - -+ _NET_WM_VISIBLE_ICON_NAME (1.3) - Metacity does not set this property, but metacity will never display - a name different from _NET_WM_NAME - -+ _NET_WM_DESKTOP (1.3) - -+ _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE (1.3) - -/ _NET_WM_STATE (1.3) - This property is read and updated according to the specification, - but see caveat below. - Metacity does not recognize separate vertical and horizontal - maximization states. Currently metacity will do a two-dimensional - maximization if either property is set. - See: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113601 - Metacity doesn't implement viewports so _NET_WM_STATE_STICKY is - unimplemented. - -+ _NET_WM_ALLOWED_ACTIONS (1.3) - Metacity keeps this hint up to date. The code is somewhat crufty - and should be rewritten, though it is functional. - See: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90420 - -+ _NET_WM_STRUT (1.3) - -+ _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL (1.3) - -+ _NET_WM_ICON_GEOMETRY (1.3) - Metacity uses this property to draw minimize/restore animations - -+ _NET_WM_ICON (1.3) - -+ _NET_WM_PID (1.3) - -+ _NET_WM_HANDLED_ICONS (1.3) - Metacity does not read or set this property. However, metacity - never manages iconified windows, and so has no need to do so. - -+ _NET_WM_USER_TIME (1.3) - Metacity uses this property to prevent applications from stealing - focus if supported by the toolkit. - -+ _NET_FRAME_EXTENTS (1.3) - If set in response to a _NET_REQUEST_FRAME_EXTENTS message received - prior to the window being mapped, this may be an estimate. This is, - however, expressly allowed by the specification. - - d. Window Manager Protocols - --------------------------- -+ _NET_WM_PING (1.3) - -3) ICCCM Compliance -------------------- -TODO
