[Gambas-user] DesktopWatcher doesn't watch...

[RICHARD WALKER]

... or it does but it just won't tell me what it sees:-(

Using Gambas 3.1.1 on Mageia 2 64-bit with desktop (LXDE) spread
across two monitors.

I am trying various techniques to discover if a program starts on the
desktop. My latest effort tries to use a desktop watcher set up as

MyDesktopWatcher = New DestopWatcher(True) as "MyDesktopWatcher"

As far as I can tell from the documentation  I should be able to
detect relevant screen activity with event handlers called
MyDesktopWatcher_eventname(possible parameter).

I have created all possible event handlers with action routines to
simply print (to the console) the evidence that they have been
triggered. So far nothing I have done has succeeded in triggering one
of these events; shading, minimising, resizing, opening, all sorts of
things.

I have concluded that I must be misunderstanding how this works. Can
anyone lighten my darkness?
