Hi Glus,

Generally in gtkmm, if the constructor is protected you're expected to use a Glib::RefPtr to access the object - and I see the wrap() function returns a Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::Seat > .  That often means the object makes sense only when it's constructed from already known information.

It looks like you probably want to get the Gdk::Seat via its display: start with the widget you're interested in events happening on, call Gtk::Widget::get_display(), and then display->get_default_seat().  That appears to be the way the nautilus devs are using it (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=762235).

Ian.

Hi guys,

How Gdk::Seat could be instantiated while constructor is protected ?

How could I get Gdk::Seat::get_keyboard() ?
