These functions are utility functions providing some additional features to libwnck users.
void
wnck_set_client_type (WnckClientType ewmh_sourceindication_client_type
);
Sets the role of the libwnck user.
The default role is WNCK_CLIENT_TYPE_APPLICATION
. Therefore, for
applications providing some window management features, like pagers or
tasklists, it is important to set the role to WNCK_CLIENT_TYPE_PAGER
for
libwnck to properly work.
This function should only be called once per program. Additional calls with the same client type will be silently ignored. An attempt to change the client type to a differnet value after it has already been set will be ignored and a critical warning will be logged.

void
wnck_shutdown (void
);
Makes libwnck stop listening to events and tear down all resources from libwnck. This should be done if you are not going to need the state change notifications for an extended period of time, to avoid wakeups with every key and focus event.
After this, all pointers to Wnck object you might still hold are invalid.
Due to the fact that Wnck objects are all owned by libwnck, users of this API through introspection should be extremely careful: they must explicitly clear variables referencing objects before this call. Failure to do so might result in crashes.
