Random idea for that: libstartup-notification contains |

You could also test on alacritty if you have something that can pass startup notify. That's how I've done wayland testing ^ |
The utils in this module should help the users to activate the windows they create, as well as manage activation tokens environment variables. The API is essential for Wayland in the first place, since some compositors may decide initial focus of the window based on whether the activation token was during the window creation. Fixes rust-windowing#2279.

Don't we have a title() getter already? I'm pretty sure you can just self.title().

The title() getter returns an empty string.

Maybe we should request the token right before sending it back to the user?

Good idea, I've implemented this.

@notgull I'm not sure whether we should really add this testing example, because it requires installing the desktop file. How were you testing it btw in your setup? |
CHANGELOG.mdif knowledge of this change could be valuable to userscc rust-windowing#2955
Adds the parallel activation context things to X11. None of this code has been tested.
It seems like the actual activation token from
request_activation_tokendoesn't really matter, so I've just implemented it using the recommendation that the specs give.This is based on rust-windowing#2825, while the
activation_tokenbranch for this repo seems to be based on an older commit. Hence the extra noise.
