Im new to developing and i want to try and make a small app that displays the current desktop and sticks to all desktops. sort of like the default ubuntu workspace displayer (default botom right).

I have sdk and sucessfuly compiled sample code. The problem is i dont know where to start besides looking through sample code and googleing. Is this a good app/widget idea or should i not even waist my time and try something easier?

I've read books on programing, and i know my code needs to "listen" for "call" from the OS events. how can I discover whats happening when i scroll the desktop?

What code should i use for this project. QT, python, or C++?

Those are some of the question that would really help me get started.


thanks
