libwnck

libwnck is Window Navigator Construction Kit, i.e. a library to use for writing pagers and taskslists and stuff.

libwnck is not supported in the devel platform, which means OS vendors won't guarantee the API/ABI long-term, but authors of open source apps should feel free to use libwnck as users can always recompile against a new version. The API/ABI has historically changed very little: we are not changing it gratuitously or without soname increments.

Documentation for the API is available with gtk-doc. The code implementing the tasklist or pager widgets (tasklist.c and pager.c) can also be used as sample code.

Installation

See the file 'INSTALL'. If you are not using a released version of libwnck (for example, if you checked out the code from git), you first need to run './autogen.sh'.
