DESCRIPTION

Gkt2::UniqueBackend is the base, abstract class implemented by the different IPC mechanisms used by Gtk2::Unique. Each Gtk2::UniqueApp instance creates a Gkt2::UniqueBackend to request the name or to send messages.

Creates a Gkt2::UniqueBackend using the default backend defined at compile time. You can override the default backend by setting the UNIQUE_BACKEND environment variable with the name of the desired backend.

Retrieves the current workspace.

Requests the name set using Gtk2::set_name() and this backend.

Sends command_id, and optionally message_data, to a running instance using backend.
