Error at getWmWindowTypes about pyewmh HOT 4 CLOSED

I assume you are talking about the same fix reported in #7, and looks like there is a fix in #8. @rrthomas, I missed the bug report, sorry for that.

I'll give this a test, and will merge/release as soon as I find the time. Thanks!

I have read wrong, i thinked it was an other method. sorry.
But one Question: can u say me how to minimize a Window with emwh?
i tryed this:
[code]
from ewmh import EWMH
EWMH = EWMH()
win = EWMH.getActiveWindow()
EWMH.setWmState(win, 2, '_NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN')
EWMH.display.flush()
[/code]
i know about a function XIconifyWindow in c and Xlib but i cant have
access to this function via python.
Or is there some other function?

greetings Julian

I just merged #8, so the first issue here will be solved soon. I will
make a bugfix release.

For the other point, @cpdef, I believe this is not possible for every
desktop manager unfortunately (see the second paragraph below)

See:
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/1.3/ar01s05.html

_NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN should be set by the Window Manager to
indicate that a window would not be visible on the screen if its
desktop/viewport were active and its coordinates were within the
screen bounds. The canonical example is that minimized windows
should be in the _NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN state. Pagers and similar
applications should use _NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN instead of WM_STATE
to decide whether to display a window in miniature representations
of the windows on a desktop.

Implementation note: if an Application asks to toggle
_NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN the Window Manager should probably just
ignore the request, since _NET_WM_STATE_HIDDEN is a function of
some other aspect of the window such as minimization, rather than
an independent state.

Though, possibly for gnome: http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=28195
