Hallo,
I was wondering if there is a good place where one can
find more information about the the methods exported on the dbus by the
different plugins. And especially the required parameters.
I have play around quite a bit and tried to use the "org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable.Introspect";
method to get more information about the objects, but I was not really
lucky in finding what I was looking for.
For example, I tried to find out how I could trigger the "cube
rotation" from a python script. But whatever I found did not work...
I'm using the latest compiz-fusion release 0.7.6
Any help would be apreciated.
Thanks,
Martin

The old action type had key, button, edge bindings as well
as "internal"
actions (not to be triggered by the user) included. This was
split to
"key", "button", "edge" and
"action" options, which all can be triggered
by dbus. The way they are triggered hasn't changed, only the
naming.

Free rotation is not possible over dbus AFAIK, but changing
one viewport
only should be possible by triggering the rotate_left_key /
rotate_right_key options in rotate.
BTW, there's a Python helper script for activating Compiz
actions over
dbus:

Thanks for the tip. I have tried using the new names and it worked.
I ws just not sure if I can "activate" a "key" or "button" option.
Thanks for your tip of the python script, I will have a look at that

The old action type had key, button, edge bindings as well as "internal"
actions (not to be triggered by the user) included. This was split to
";key", "button", "edge" and "action" options, which all can be triggered
by dbus. The way they are triggered hasn't changed, only the naming.
