Issue 55: Non-core code should be sandboxed http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=55 Comment #2 by james.w...(a)sygneca.com: See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.xmonad/2388 (i.e. crash ocurred in handleEvent). The same applies to the various code in Config.hs, I presume. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

i18n in xprompt
by Andrea Rossato 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

hi, this is a follow up of another thread. Attached to this message there is a new version of the XPrompt with i18n support. Actually, IXPrompt.hs is what XPrompt will look like, but first I need to fix the FIXME stuff, which requires importing the XwcLookupString function. Otherwise I need to use toLocale to translate the string I receive with XLookupString. The Xwc* family function are already part of x11-extras. Only the lookupString function is missing, and it requires, I think - still I didn't look it closely -, a Storable instance. When I'll have that function imported XPrompt will be encoding independent and I will be able to have only the IShellPrompt, which is fully i18n aware, requiring the locale C stuff that is presently in IXPromptLib.hsc. The goal is to have a default, not i18n, prompt without any external dependency, and specific prompts i18n aware which will require calling setlocale() and the related C stuff. Hope to finish this stuff before x11-extras-0.4 will be released, otherwise we will have to wait the post 0.4 cycle. Andrea

darcs patch: ShellPrompt.hs: add getShellCompl to export list

Sun Oct 7 18:02:36 EDT 2007 gwern0(a)gmail.com * ShellPrompt.hs: add getShellCompl to export list getShellCompl is useful for writing prompts in Config.hs or even full standalone prompts; and personally, if a small utility function like 'split' can be exported, how much more so something useful like getShellCompl?

Issue 56: Focus is not given to correct window when switching virtual desktops http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=56 New issue report by gert.vierman: Not sure if this is functioning as designed, this bug might be related or even the same as #40 - Create 2 xterms on desktop 1 - give focus to rightmost window by moving the mouse to the right - switch to desktop 2 (Meta-2) - move the mouse to the left part of the screen - switch back to desktop 1 The mouse is now hovering over the left xterm, but the right xterm still has the focus.

runXXX
by Christian Thiemann 07 Oct '07

Hi, I am currently looking into all the XMonadContrib modules to see what I like and what I don't want to have in my Config.hs. I noticed some modules import Dmenu just for the runProcessWithInput function. I don't have dmenu installed on my system and I think it's a little confusing (at least on first sight) that some module pulls in Dmenu without actually using dmenu (I was always like "oh no, it needs dmenu to be installed - no wait, it just uses runProcessWithInput"). Probably the runProcessWithInput function from Dmenu, runProcessWithInputAndWait from Dzen and runInXTerm from RunInXTerm could be merged into some module called e.g. Run or RunProcess. I think that way the contents of the modules are more consistent with their names. Oh, and by the way (I hope that's not a FAQ): When I add a new layout to the defaultLayouts I need to quit xmonad and start it again - the mod-q restart feature won't give me the new layouts. Is this a bug or a feature? (I find it quite annoying, since killing xmonad means killing my whole X session... so I use an Xnest testbed for looking at the layout modules.) Cheers, Christian -- Christian Thiemann mail(a)christian-thiemann.de

Issue 55: Non-core code should be sandboxed http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=55 New issue report by james.w...(a)sygneca.com: Xmonad should attempt to sandbox non-core code invocations (notably layouts), so that it can recover sensibly from failures in this code, rather than falling over and maybe ending the X session.
