Windowgrouper Description
Windowgrouper is a GNOME 2 panel applet that allows you to group windows together. Windowgrouper is a GNOME 2 panel applet that allows you to group windows together so that when one window in a group is minimized, unminimized, or moved to another desktop, the same operation is applied to the other windows in that group.Windowgrouper is very easy to use, and its arguably useful.Installation:After you download the source archive and extract the source tree, change to the top directory of the windowgrouper-applet tree. You can build and install Windowmake with the following commands:./configure &&make &&sudo make installThis will install the applet under the /usr/local prefix. You may need to tell GNOME where to look to find the Windowgrouper applet. You can do this by editing the file /etc/bonobo-activation/bonobo-activation-config.xml and adding /usr/local/lib/bonobo/servers to the searchpath.Alternatively, you can tell the configure script to install in the /usr prefix (or in which ever prefix your GNOME installation happens to be). This way, no further configuration is required. Here are the commands that I use:./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib/gnome-panel &&make &&sudo make installUsage:Add the Windowgrouper applet to a panel like you would any other applet, by right clicking on the panel and selecting Add to Panel... Select the Windowgrouper applet from the Desktop & Windows section.Clicking on the running applet will change the mouse pointer to the crosshairs cursor and a status window will appear in the middle of the screen to indicate that you can select a window. If you now click on a window a menu will pop up that allows you to assign the window to a group.If you right click on the applet and select Collect New Group from the menu, you can click on a series of windows to add them all to a new group. When you're done selecting windows, just click on the desktop, the panel, or the Windowgrouper status window. You can cancel with the Escape key.When one window in a group is hidden or minimized, so are the other members of the group. The same is true when a window is unminimized. Additionally, moving a window to a different workspace will move the other group members as well.Requirements:· GTK+ version 2.6.x· GNOME 2, including gnome-panel-2.0 and libgnome-2.0 libraries. What's New in This Release:· This version includes integration with GNOME help.
