### gdk_net_wm_supports ()

    gboolean            gdk_net_wm_supports                 (GdkAtom property);

This function is specific to the X11 backend of GDK, and indicates whether the window manager supports a certain hint from the Extended Window Manager Hints Specification. You can find this specification on http://www.freedesktop.org.

When using this function, keep in mind that the window manager can change over time; so you shouldn't use this function in a way that impacts persistent application state. A common bug is that your application can start up before the window manager does when the user logs in, and before the window manager starts `gdk_x11_screen_supports_net_wm_hint()` will return `FALSE` for every property. You can monitor the window_manager_changed signal on GdkScreen to detect a window manager change.

`screen` : | the relevant GdkScreen.
`property` : | a property atom.
Returns : | `TRUE` if the window manager supports `property`

Since 2.2

### gdk_x11_screen_get_window_manager_name ()

The application can use this call to update the _NET_WM_USER_TIME property on a toplevel window. This property stores an Xserver time which represents the time of the last user input event received for this window. This property may be used by the window manager to alter the focus, stacking, and/or placement behavior of windows when they are mapped depending on whether the new window was created by a user action or is a "pop-up" window activated by a timer or some other event.

Note that this property is automatically updated by GDK, so this function should only be used by applications which handle input events bypassing GDK.

Sends a startup notification message of type `message_type` to `display`.

`message_type` : | startup notification message type ("new", "change", or "remove")
`...` : | a list of key/value pairs (as strings), terminated by a `NULL` key. (A `NULL` value for a key will cause that key to be skipped in the output.)

`display` : | a GdkDisplay

Since 2.2

If the windowing system supports it, existing cursors created with `gdk_cursor_new()`, `gdk_cursor_new_for_display()` and `gdk_cursor_new_for_name()` are updated to reflect the theme change. Custom cursors constructed with `gdk_cursor_new_from_pixmap()` or `gdk_cursor_new_from_pixbuf()` will have to be handled by the application (GTK+ applications can learn about cursor theme changes by listening for change notification for the corresponding GtkSetting).

`display` : | a GdkDisplay
`theme` : | the name of the cursor theme to use, or `NULL` to unset a previously set value
`size` : | the cursor size to use, or 0 to keep the previous size

Registers interest in receiving extension events with type codes between `event_base` and `event_base + n_events - 1`. The registered events must have the window field in the same place as core X events (this is not the case for e.g. XKB extension events).

If an event type is registered, events of this type will go through global and window-specific filters (see `gdk_window_add_filter()`). Unregistered events will only go through global filters. GDK may register the events of some X extensions on its own.

This function should only be needed in unusual circumstances, e.g. when filtering XInput extension events on the root window.

`display` : | a GdkDisplay
`event_base` : | first event type code to register
`n_events` : | number of event type codes to register

Returns the X atom for GDK's default display corresponding to `atom_name`. This function caches the result, so if called repeatedly it is much faster than `XInternAtom()`, which is a round trip to the server each time.

`atom_name` : | a string
Returns : | a X atom for GDK's default display.

### gdk_x11_get_xatom_by_name_for_display ()

    Atom                gdk_x11_get_xatom_by_name_for_display

Returns the X atom for a GdkDisplay corresponding to `atom_name`. This function caches the result, so if called repeatedly it is much faster than `XInternAtom()`, which is a round trip to the server each time.

`display` : | a GdkDisplay

### gdk_x11_get_xatom_name ()

    const gchar *       gdk_x11_get_xatom_name              (Atom xatom);

Returns the name of an X atom for GDK's default display. This function is meant mainly for debugging, so for convenience, unlike ``XAtomName()`` and `gdk_atom_name()`, the result doesn't need to be freed. Also, this function will never return `NULL`, even if `xatom` is invalid.

`xatom` : | an X atom for GDK's default display
Returns : | name of the X atom; this string is owned by GTK+, so it shouldn't be modifed or freed.

### gdk_x11_get_xatom_name_for_display ()

Returns the name of an X atom for its display. This function is meant mainly for debugging, so for convenience, unlike `XAtomName()` and `gdk_atom_name()`, the result doesn't need to be freed.

`display` : | the GdkDisplay where `xatom` is defined
`xatom` : | an X atom
Returns : | name of the X atom; this string is owned by GDK, so it shouldn't be modifed or freed.
