void KStartupInfoData::addPid | ( | pid_t | pid | ) |

Adds a PID to the list of processes that belong to the startup notification.

It may be used to increase the chance that the windows created by the starting application will be detected correctly, and also for detecting if the application has quit without creating any window.

void KStartupInfoData::setHostname | ( | const QCString & | hostname = `QCString()` | ) |

Sets the hostname on which the application is starting.

It's necessary to set it if PIDs are set.

  3.1.1

Definition at line 1382 of file kstartupinfo.cpp.

void KStartupInfoData::setTimestamp | ( | unsigned long | time | ) |

Deprecated:
  Timestamp is already assigned in KStartupInfoId::initId(). Sets timestamp for the startup notification. The timestamp is expressed as XServer time, and is used to prevent activation of the matching window if user interaction took place after this timestamp. Value -1 means no timestamp set, value 0 means that the window should not be activated.

Definition at line 1387 of file kstartupinfo.cpp.

unsigned long KStartupInfoData::timestamp | ( |  | ) | const

Deprecated:
  Use KStartupInfoId::timestamp(). Return the timestamp for the startup notification, or -1 if no timestamp is set.

Referenced by update().

int KStartupInfoData::screen | ( |  | ) | const

| The X11 screen on which the startup notification is happening, -1 if unknown. Definition at line 1402 of file kstartupinfo.cpp.

void KStartupInfoData::setScreen | ( | int | screen | ) |

| Sets the X11 screen on which the startup notification should happen. This is usually not necessary to set, as it's set by default to qt_xscreen(). Definition at line 1397 of file kstartupinfo.cpp.

void KStartupInfoData::update | ( | const KStartupInfoData & | data | ) |

Updates the notification data from the given data.

Some data, such as the desktop or the name, won't be rewritten if already set.

Parameters:

  | data | the data to update
