issue building xmonad on OS X 10.4
by Vincent Kraeutler 20 Oct '07

20 Oct '07

Dear xmonad list, I would like to report a build problem with xmonad on OS X 10.4 as well as a) a tentative description of the problem; b) a hackish fix which seems to work for me. I. Problem description: The build fails with the following output: vincent$ runhaskell Setup.lhs configure Configuring xmonad-0.4... configure: Dependency base>=2.0: using base-2.0 configure: Dependency X11>=1.2.1: using X11-1.2.2 configure: Dependency X11-extras>=0.4: using X11-extras-0.4 configure: Dependency mtl>=1.0: using mtl-1.0 configure: Dependency unix>=1.0: using unix-1.0 [...] vincent$ runhaskell Setup.lhs build Preprocessing executables for xmonad-0.4... Building xmonad-0.4... [3 of 6] Compiling Config[boot] ( Config.hs-boot, nothing ) [4 of 6] Compiling Operations ( Operations.hs, dist/build/xmonad/xmonad-tmp/Operations.o ) Operations.hs:81:17: Not in scope: `withdrawnState' Operations.hs:190:17: Not in scope: `iconicState' Operations.hs:201:17: Not in scope: `normalState' II. Likely cause: Somehow the above symbols, #define'd in X11R6/include/X11/Xutil.h: /* definitions for initial window state */ #define WithdrawnState 0 /* for windows that are not mapped */ #define NormalState 1 /* most applications want to start this way */ #define IconicState 3 /* application wants to start as an icon */ do not get properly propagated to Operations.hs. I am still sufficiently unfamiliar with the haskell ffi/build chain to figure out where they might get dropped, but at least for me, there seems to be a problem. III. Tentative fix: Replace occurrences of the symbols with the respective hard-coded integer values. About like so: vincent$ darcs diff diff -rN old-xmonad/Operations.hs new-xmonad/Operations.hs 80c80,81 < setWMState w withdrawnState --- > setWMState w 0 > --setWMState w withdrawnState 189c190,191 < setWMState w iconicState --- > --setWMState w iconicState > setWMState w 3 199c201,202 < setWMState w normalState --- > --setWMState w normalState > setWMState w 1 xmonad then builds fine and seems to run happily as well. But obviously, this is not a satisfying solution. I would be grateful for a better one. Kind regards, v.

by Spencer Janssen 20 Oct '07

20 Oct '07

We're planning to release 0.4 over this weekend. In preparation for the release xmonad, XMonadContrib and X11-extras are under a feature freeze. Feel free to send bug fix and documentation patches, but please keep new feature patches to yourself until after the release. If there are any important issues that should be addressed before 0.4, now is the time to speak up! Cheers, Spencer Janssen

dynamic workspaces, session restore
by Valery V. Vorotyntsev 19 Oct '07

19 Oct '07

Hi, There are a couple ideas I would like to discuss. 1) Fixed number of workspaces is too inflexible and somewhat ugly, IMO. What about creating workspaces by demand, instead? The same way `ion' does to workspaces or screen to its "windows". 2) When xmonad quits, it forgets layout settings -- number of windows in master pane, current tiling algorithm, focused window, master/subordinate ratio, etc. Doesn't it? We could save this information to `~/.xmonad' file and read it at next startup. And a question. 3) Can I define a key binding like, say, `Win-k 1'? The pattern is `<modifiers>-<key1> <key2>'. I find such screen/ion/emacs-y keystrokes very handy. :) Thank you. And happy hacking! -- vvv

Issue 56 in xmonad: Focus is not given to correct window when switching virtual desktops

Issue 56: Focus is not given to correct window when switching virtual desktops http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=56 Comment #1 by SpencerJanssen: This is by design. We remember the current focus of each workspace -- the idea is that the user will want to continue working in the same window when returning to a workspace. In common window manager jargon, xmonad uses "sloppy focus" rather than strict "focus follows mouse". Focus is only changed when: - the user presses one of the navigation keys like mod-j - the user crosses the boundaries of a visible window from outside to inside with the mouse pointer - the user clicks the mouse button over an unfocused window Issue attribute updates: Status: WontFix -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
