details about the earlier mentioned error:-
SUMMARY
xdotool script gives error
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. create a script like:
- Code: Select all
#! /bin/bash
xdotool key ALT+F4
2. create a launcher in the panel pointing to this script
3. try to close windows by clicking on the launcher - u get error
- Code: Select all
KDEInit could not launch '/home/a/close.sh'
the funny thing is the error is displayed after the window is closed. So the xdotool action takes effect, yet the error.
The same launcher btw works flawlessly on xfce panel. M sure there must be a way to make the same work on KDE as well. I just haven't figured it out yet. But i can't work in it as it seems slowish, so cant troubleshoot.
M spoilt by the responsive snappiness of openbox. DEs definitely, not my cup of tea. m back to my comfort blanky of openbox.
