How do you use the shelf plugin with DBUS?

[s0l1dsnak3123]

Hi,

I am trying to use the shelf plugin via DBUS, but I get an error :/
Here is what I am doing:


snak3@snak3:~$ dbus-send --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.compiz /org/freedesktop/compiz org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable.Introspect

What am I doing wrong?

You want something like this: dbus-send --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.compiz /org/freedesktop/compiz/shelf/allscreens/trigger_key org.freedesktop.compiz.activate string:'root' int32:`xwininfo -root | grep id: | awk '{ print $4 }'`
