shell_app_activate_window ()

void                shell_app_activate_window           (ShellApp *app,

Bring all windows for the given app to the foreground, but ensure that window is on top. If window is NULL, the window with the most recent user time for the app will be used.

This function has no effect if app is not currently running.

shell_app_activate ()

void                shell_app_activate                  (ShellApp *app);

Like shell_app_activate_full(), but using the default workspace and event timestamp.

Perform an appropriate default action for operating on this application, dependent on its current state. For example, if the application is not currently running, launch it. If it is running, activate the most recently used NORMAL window (or if that window has a transient, the most recently used transient for that window).

shell_app_open_new_window ()

void                shell_app_open_new_window           (ShellApp *app,
                                                         int workspace);

shell_app_request_quit ()

gboolean            shell_app_request_quit              (ShellApp *app);

Initiate an asynchronous request to quit this application. The application may interact with the user, and the user might cancel the quit request from the application UI.

This operation may not be supported for all applications.

shell_app_get_n_windows ()

guint               shell_app_get_n_windows             (ShellApp *app);

shell_app_get_windows ()

GSList *            shell_app_get_windows               (ShellApp *app);

Get the toplevel, interesting windows which are associated with this application. The returned list will be sorted first by whether they're on the active workspace, then by whether they're visible, and finally by the time the user last interacted with them.

shell_app_get_pids ()

GSList *            shell_app_get_pids                  (ShellApp *app);

                                                         int workspace,
                                                         char **startup_id,
