All,
Is there a way to build a window/Frame/Dialog that docks on section of the desktop- both on Linux an Windows? eg on top of the desktop and the rest of the applications to come beneath it! A good example is the task bars on windows and genome desktop!
Help!
regards,
Gath

There are platform specific APIs that need to be called to make the desktop adjust it's usable space and reserve room for the app bar. There was some sample code posted here or on the wiki a long time ago showing how to do this on Windows, although doing it through ctypes now might be easier. I'm not sure if this can be done on Gnome with a wx application, as there might need to be more integration with the Gnome messaging APIs than what wxGTK does.
