0001 ##XEmbed SNI Proxy 0002 0003 The goal of this project is to make xembed system trays available in Plasma. 0004 0005 This is to allow legacy apps (xchat, pidgin, tuxguitar) etc. system trays[1] available in Plasma which only supports StatusNotifierItem [2]. 0006 0007 Ideally we also want this to work in an xwayland session, making X system tray icons available even when plasmashell only has a wayland connection. 0008 0009 This project should be portable onto all other DEs that speak SNI. 0010 0011 ##How it works (in theory) 0012 0013 * We register a window as a system tray container 0014 * We render embedded windows composited offscreen 0015 * We render contents into an image and send this over DBus via the SNI protocol 0016 * XDamage events trigger a repaint 0017 * Activate and context menu events are replyed via X send event into the embedded container as left and right clicks 0018 0019 There are a few extra hacks in the real code to deal with some toolkits being awkward. 0020 0021 ##Build instructions 0022 0023 cmake . 0024 make 0025 sudo make install 0026 0027 After building, run `xembedsniproxy`. 0028 0029 [1] http://standards.freedesktop.org/systemtray-spec/systemtray-spec-latest.html 0030 [2] http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/StatusNotifierItem/
