Thanks very much for this very useful piece of code Ivan. I am currently experiencing a crash whenever I try to add the applet to my panel. The crash looks very similar to the one described by AndreArruda but I can't see how he rectified this problem. I am using 89500. The details of the crash are below followed by the details of my system.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

System:

KDE from KDE3 Intrepid PPA (http://ppa.launchpad.net/kb9vqf/ubuntu intrepid)

Please disregard my previous post and accept my apologies for being an idiot. I spent ages on this problem. As soon as I posted the problem, I spotted your comment about the patch and got it to work straight away. Sorry. Thanks for your great work.

been trying to compile this for quite some time now with no luck (thought about changing my nick for that reason :-p).

I would appreciate any guidelines cause it's starting getting on my nerves not being able to use this absolutely useful tool

I run kde 3.5.10 on a sidux box
configure goes all the way through:
"Good - your configure finished. Start make now"
...but make ends up with the following message:

forgot to wish

On openSUSE 11.0 I get this error during the make process (I applied the opensuse patch):

Sorry, please ignore my post!

I thought this machine was running KDE 3.5.10 but it was 3.5.9. So I upgraded to 3.5.10 and now everything works perfectly.

Thanks for the great work!

I thought I was using Compiz-Kicker 3.5.10, but I wasn't I was using the Compiz-Kicker 3.5.4. The 3.5.10 ./configure, make, sudo make install worked without errors. I uninstalled the 3.5.4 version, and reinstalled the 3.5.10 version and I don't have a Compiz-Kicker option in Add Applet to Panel. There's only Desktop Preview & Pager. Any ideas?

The 3.5.4 one crashes 1/2 the time desktops are switched. And the KDE one doesn't understand vertical virtual desktops/multiple desktops on Compiz



KUbuntu_8.04.1-64_bit

ops... this is Taskbar not Kicker!
That might explain things...

The current version of Compiz-Kicker changes desktops (no virtual) with the mouse wheel or clicking on a desktop/virtual desktop.
-
Compiz-Fusion had the more than one desktop disabled for some Compiz-Fusion versions. The option is enabled the the 'unstable'* .7.9 version I downloaded and and a <7.4 version I tried, but not the 7.4, or 7.6 versions.

*It doesn't seam unstable so far. Only the unstable plugins add-ins that don't have custom icons seam unstable.

It would be a nice option to add if we could set it to change, either desktops, or virtual desktops(up/down, left/right, prev/next, loop/no_loop(u/d l/r p/n)) with the mouse wheel, or tilt wheel over the pager.
-
Also maybe a middle click for move the active window to a desktop/viewport.

Exactly the same with or without the patch.

I've tried everything, but it crashes kicker on opensuse 11 w/ kde 3.5.10

Do you have any logs from crash? Maybe suse added some patches to kdelibs... Where are suse patches located so i can look at them?

KDE Panel: 3.5.10

Btw, the same QT version works fine with KDE 3.5.9.

Where are opensuse packages? I need to see what patches they apply to kdelibs. I can't find them.

Nevermind.I found them. Could you send me your email. I'll send you modified taskbar-compiz for suse since i can't test it.

Hey,

Sorry, i just read your reply now.

I just sent my email in a message here, i'll test it as soon as possible and let you know.

I had just switched back to kde 3.5.9 so i could use compiz again...

I am updating to 3.5.10 again and will provide you the debug info in a moment :)

Compile, but kicker stay crashing on OpenSuSE 11 when i add the applet.

Hi,

I've downloaded the packaged kicker-compiz-taskbar, but I do still experience closed windows to be present on the taskbar. With this latest fix, It seems however that more windows close properly. But not all.

See my comment (as gijsterbeek) on the launchpad link above.

See the last comments on this bug report:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase/+bug/261694

It works perfectly !

Thanks a lot for your great job, and for your reactivity !
