here is the exported qbw::

method: i write $QBW_CLICK_X and $QBW_CLICK_Y to a
file /home/user/bin/qbw_clickpos.txt and reread those values
from the script qbw_face2face.sh. if the click is within a
given rectangle the corresponding app is launched.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

PATH=/home/user/bin:/usr/bin/:$PATH; 

declare -i CLICK_X=`head -1 /home/user/bin/qbw_clickpos.txt`;
declare -i CLICK_Y=`tail -1 /home/user/bin/qbw_clickpos.txt`; 
# Front
APP1=(osso-xterm 118 87); 
# Right Eye
APP2=(conboy 53 118); 
# Left Eye
APP3=(evopedia 194 120);  
# Mouth
APP4=(launch_mediaplayer 117 249);
# Headphone 
APP5=(qbw_hsc.sh 320 120);
# Nose 
APP6=(qbw_monit.sh 120 184); 

APP_COUNT=6;

R=20;

check_betrag(){
  if [ $1 -le $2 ]; then
    BETRAG=$(( $2 - $1 ));
  else
    BETRAG=$(( $1 - $2 ));
  fi
}

check_rectangle(){
  X=$2; Y=$3;
  check_betrag $2 $CLICK_X;
  if [ $BETRAG -le $R ]; then  
    check_betrag $3 $CLICK_Y;
    if [ $BETRAG -le $R ]; then   
      exec $( eval echo \${APP${i}[0]} ) \&;
      #eval echo \${APP${i}[0]} ;
      #echo $CLICK_X $CLICK_Y;
    fi
  fi;
};

for (( i=1; i<=${APP_COUNT}; i++ )); do
  check_rectangle $i `echo $(( APP${i}[1] ))` `echo $(( APP${i}[2] ))`;
done

unfortunately, i have some problems.

1) APP1[0]=osso-xterm does not work within qbw but from
command line using qbw_face2face.sh directly?

2) APP6[0]=qbw_monit.sh which echoes some monitoring
outputs does not work in hidden mode but in visible.

3) i cant start several apps with this widget. in hidden mode
only one app launches, in visible up to two?

For those who want to play with the widget:

* Import the widget via qbw/avanced/import, see wiki
* modify the script, i.e. change the APP{I} arrays for your needs
* to get the correct clickpositions you can uncomment the
two lines

Code:

      #eval echo \${APP${i}[0]} ;
      #echo $CLICK_X $CLICK_Y;
