Hi,<br>
<br>
If it were me, I'd use the deprecated function since it won't be removed<br>
in GTK+3 and by the time your code is ported to GTK+4, you'll have much<br>
larger things to worry about.<br>
<br>
Another solution would be to just use Xlib directly and read the<br>
_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW[0] property on your own, and/or copy the code from<br>
the deprecated function's implementation[1].<br>
<br>
As far as wnck being heavy on resources, I'm not sure what that means,<br>
but since Xfwm4 is already using it[2], I don't think it will add any<br>
additional memory overhead (unless you're not using Xfwm4 or anything<br>
else that uses libwnck), if that's what you meant.<br>
<br>
