Description:
There are an excellent main menu with categories in Gnome.
All applications are sorted by category, like \\\'internet\\\', \\\'office\\\', \\\'graphics\\\' and so on.
It is very convenient. It is very easy to find applications, especially if it is a newly installed application.
And I thought it would be nice to use the same categories to bind applications to virtual desktops.
For example:
- internet apps on the first desktop;
- office apps - 2nd desktop
- games - 3rd desktop
and so on...
Great feature?
All categories already in the menu.
Specifically, categories are in .desktop files.
Therefore, this tool (or plugin for windows manager) should be simple.
But there is a problem, the classes of windows (WM_CLASS) are not in the .desktop-files.
And, sometimes, it is very difficult to find a .desktop-file for the application.
There are several workarounds to do so, such as the search for the executable name, the comparison of window\\\'s class (WM_CLASS) and .desktop-file name, and so on.
But very often they do not work.
This problem has two simple solutions:
- add WM_CLASS key to .desktop-files
- .deaktop-file names must contain the WM_CLASS, like \\\"resclass-resname.desktop\\\"
This should be systemwide.
