Hi,

I'm using Python to get the number of windows of an app. But I found that I only get the value 1, even the app has 3 windows in my case.

My code:

def count_windows(xid: int) -> int:
    screen: Wnck.Screen = Wnck.Screen.get_default()
    screen.force_update()
    window: Wnck.Window = Wnck.Window.get(xid)
    app: Wnck.Application = window.get_application()
    return app.get_n_windows()

I've debugged. It seems like each window has their own Wnck.Application instance, so that their Wnck.Application instance has a window of course. And each app.get_name() has their different names too.

But this is quite hard to understand. I believe the result must be wrong. It, which is the rerult of the method app.get_n_windows(), can't be 1 but should be 3.

Is this some kinds of limitation on libwnck?

Please provide any information to me in case that I've missed something.

Thank you very very much!
