hi, I would like to make working gdevilspie from malcomlewis repo. I am using kde4 current under 13.1.
my try smells the missed dependencies, knows somebody something about? I get:

msi_user@linux-x3y3:~> gdevilspie

hi malcomlewis,
yes, it works!

  • used the gdevilspie in your repo.
  • patched with the downloaded xdg_basedirectory.patch
  • it works, I tested it giving in a window caption for a window to close.
  • I think it could be repacked and replace the present version in your repo.

GREAT, BIG THANKS !!!

Hi
I’ve re-added to my TESTING repo as well as adding a modified patch. It
may take some time to rebuild as OBS is in cold startup after some
maintenance,
