Ok, just so you know, I haven't worked with dbus or perl much, so I might say some things that are off. I'm trying to use dbus to work with compiz programmatically. And looking at compiz wiki <a href="http://wiki.compiz.org/Plugins/Dbus" rel="nofollow">http://wiki.compiz.org/Plugins/Dbus</a>, I see that python seems like the way that it is easiest to do this. So I got to this <pre><code>import sys, dbus, subprocess bus = dbus.SystemBus() bus.get_object('org.freedesktop.compiz','/org/freedesktop/compiz') </code></pre> This, however gives me problems because apparently dbus cannot find the compiz dbus service. The syntax is right, it works with org.freedesktop.EverythingElse <blockquote> dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.compiz was not provided by any .service files </blockquote> The weird thing is that I Googled around and managed to get a perl script that listed the services (using org.freedesktop.DBus), and it showed compiz as one of them. Also, perl seemed to be able to use the compiz service. But, I don't think I could script it in perl because I'm not great at perl and I don't even really know how dbus works so I'd be killing myself there. I'm trying to be able to do stuff with compiz like change workspaces. I guess I can do that with faked keystokes, but that's to much of a hack, and I might want to add more advanced behaviors. It's a new install of arch-linux, so I'm wondering if I might be missing a package.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
