Detailed Description
Encapsulation of MapRequest events.
We can ask the X server to redirect requests to show windows to Minx so that the window manager can decide what to do. These redirections are delivered via MapRequest events, which are wrapped by minxlib and delivered to Minx's Python core via instances of this class.
Member Data Documentation
| const window minxlib::map_request::parent |
The parent window of the window to be mapped.
Since window managers are usually only concerned with top-level windows, we check this field to determine how to handle the map request. If it is equal to the root window of some screen, the target window is a top-level window that may need to be handled in a special way. Non top-level windows will usually have their map requests honoured "as-is."
