Onboard

Show onboard in current desktop

Asked by David López on 2012-12-17

Hi. I made the following script (assigned to an easystroke movement) to show onboard 0.98 in my current desktop:

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.onboard.Onboard /org/onboard/Onboard/Keyboard org.onboard.Onboard.Keyboard.Hide
dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.onboard.Onboard /org/onboard/Onboard/Keyboard org.onboard.Onboard.Keyboard.Show

That script showed onboard 0.98 in my current desktop in both situations:

- Onboard was hidden (first part of the script doesn't do anything, second part unhides in current desktop)
- Onboard was unhidden different desktop (first part hides in different desktop, second part unhides in current desktop)

I've updated to onboard 0.99 (trunk 1190) but the script only works when onboard is hidden; if onboard is unhidden in a different desktop, it remains unhidden in that different desktop, not in the current desktop.

For example, if onboard is unhidden in Desktop 1 and I call my script in Desktop 2, I expect that onboard hides in Desktop 1 and unhides in Desktop 2. That worked fine in onboard 0.98, but it doesn't work in 0.99 (onboard 0.99 remains unhidden in Desktop 1 and hidden in Desktop 2).

Any idea how to do this in onboard 0.99? Thanks

This looks like a bug. I haven't tried in OpenBox yet, but in Unity it somehow thinks it hides at an invalid position, unnecessarily tries to correct this and ends up at some bad position.
I'll open a bug report.

My desktop is 1366x768, and I have a 50px bar at the top of the screen, and 20px margins at left and right sides.
