AppLaunchContext

GdkAppLaunchContext is an implementation of gio.AppLaunchContext that handles launching an application in a graphical context. It provides startup notification and allows to launch applications on a specific screen or workspace.

Launching an application

GdkAppLaunchContext *context;

context = gdk_display_get_app_launch_context (display);

gdk_app_launch_context_set_screen (screen);
gdk_app_launch_context_set_timestamp (event->time);

if (!g_app_info_launch_default_for_uri ("http://www.gtk.org", context, &error))
g_warning ("Launching failed: `s`\n", error->message);

g_object_unref (context);

Constructors
