Issue 520 in xmonad: The _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW property is not set

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 520 by sbrainstream: The _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW property is not set http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=520 Hello! I am writing the program that must grab screenshot from a focused window. I am using the screenGetActiveWindow (gtk2hs) which uses the _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW property to determine the active window. My program works fine everywhere except xmonad. Please, add the _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW property to the root window.

Comment #1 on issue 520 by allber...@gmail.com: The _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW property is not set http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=520 xmonad sets _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW if XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops is used as part of the config. I don't know if there is any interest in merging EwmhDesktops into the core. Note that your program should already be checking for EWMH support (_NET_WM_SUPPORTING_CHECK) instead of blindly assuming the user isn't running twm or something.
