I think that was totally uncalled for. We all are *real people* here, and even people as resilient as Apple employees have feelings. Most of all, Eric is working his rear end off and also providing support on this list in his spare time.

He really deserves an apology from you.
I honestly had no idea that Eric personally worked on Spaces himself. I didn't look at his email address, so I didn't even realize he worked for Apple at all. I am very sorry if I offended you in any way, Eric.

My response stemmed from the fact that it would seem to be fairly trivial for Apple to post a notification when a Spaces switch occurred, and also fairly typical for them to not do so, which is kind of annoying when someone like me wants to play with the new hotness too.

Again, I apologize to anyone I may have offended. My response wasn't intended to mean, "You guys suck," or any other kind of personal attack. All it meant was, "Man, that's really annoying. It seems like five extra minutes from 'Apple' would've saved me hours of hackery coming up with a solution that doesn't work as well and wastes more system resources than are needed."


Have you looked into the CGWindow APIs that were added in Leopard? There's a kCGWindowWorkspace key that kinda sounds like it may provide this information, though I'm not sure whether a "workspace" and a "space" are the same... try it and let us know your results.
Nope. Never heard of them until just now. My only experience is with AppKit, Foundation, and a tiny bit of CoreData, and all of that was basically puttering. I'll try to find the documentation and see what I can figure out. Thanks for the lead. Much appreciated.
