Issue 82 in xmonad: Gap should be on by default

Issue 82: Gap should be on by default http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=82 New issue report by dons00: Users commonly expect that setting a non-zero gap value should enable that gap on restart. They are surprised when a mod-b is required. Default to showing the gap, rather than hiding it, should fix this common complaint.

Issue 79 in xmonad: unreliable fullscreen mode for gmplayer

Issue 79: unreliable fullscreen mode for gmplayer http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=79 Comment #1 by aihl...@hotmail.com: When starting mplayer in fullscreen mode (mplayer -fs), the video window doesn't appear. As above, I have to go to window mode (press "f") and back to fullscreen mode (press "f" again) to see the video. The fullscreen window is not hidden behind existing windows. I'm using MPlayer dev-SVN-r23605-3.4.6, xmonad-0.4, Xorg 7.2, and FreeBSD 6.2. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

HEADS UP xmonad-library merge
by Spencer Janssen 05 Nov '07

05 Nov '07

Firstly, because of all these changes, we recommend backing up your Config.hs before pulling these patches. We've just merged the xmonad-library branch, which brings some major changes. User configuration now goes in ~/.xmonad/Main.hs. The installed xmonad executable builds and runs this configuration file at runtime. XMonadContrib is now built and installed as a separate step, simply do the usual Cabal installation procedure after installing the xmonad library. This is a big transition, bear with us as we smooth out the rough spots. Cheers, Spencer Janssen

xmobar 0.8-rc1
by Andrea Rossato 05 Nov '07

05 Nov '07

Hi, I'm going to release Xmobar-0.8 shortly and so, with the hope to have some more testers, I'm making this release candidate: http://code.haskell.org/~arossato/xmobar/xmobar-0.8-rc1.tar.gz NOTE: xmobar-0.8-rc1 requires X11-1.3.0 from hackage. There are a lot of changes since the last release. The main include: a. Configuration: - removed xPos, yPos, width, height, align, and refresh configuration options; - added position and alignSep configuration options: the first is used to set the position (Top, Bottom or Static; the second to set the characters to be used to separate, in the output template, text that must be aligned to the left, centered, or aligned to the right; (please have look at xmobar.config-sample) b. Plugins: - added a plugin to read Unix named pipe (useful to display XMonad logs); - added a plugin to read from standard input; - a new plugin API makes it possible to write plugins that perform asynchronous actions. The new API is totally backward compatible; c. Output template: - it is now possible to align text in the output template. By default text before a '}' will be align to left, the text in between '}' and '{' will be centered, and the text after a '{' will be align to the right, like: "left } centered { right" - strings can have also a background color set: "<fc=red,white>%date%<fc>" will display the output of the "date" command in red with a white background. d. Concurrency: now xmobar uses Software Transactional Memory and the main window is updated only when needed e. Documentation: I now use Pandoc for the README, this way I have also created an HTML version of. I hope that makes the documentation a bit more accessible: http://code.haskell.org/~arossato/xmobar/ f. The darcs repository has been moved to: http://code.haskell.org/xmobar g. XRandR: since positioning is now done automatically, XRandR should be supported too, even thought support could be buggy due to the fact that I cannot actually test it, since I don't have capable hardware. h. Many other small changes and code cleanup: darcs changes will tell you everything. I would really appreciate if you could report back any issue you may discover. Thanks to Krzysztof Kosciuszkiewicz, Spencer Janssen, Jens Petersen, Dmitry Kurochkin, and Lennart Kolmodin for their help and their patches.

If I add the line 'extra-lib-dirs: /usr/X11R6/lib' to the bottom of X11.cabal, the build will succeed and I can install fine. But I'm not sure why I should have to do this since Cabal had correctly figured out where my X libs were during the configure step.

Issue 80: xmonad 0.4 won't install with X11-1.3.0 and X11-extras-0.4 without modifying xmonad.cabal http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=80 New issue report by hitesh.jasani: What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Install X11-1.3.0 2. Install X11-extras-0.4 3. While installing xmonad-0.4, 'runghc Setup.lhs configure', it works fine 4. 'runghc Setup.lhs build' fails What was the expected output? What did you see instead? Expected a successful build, instead got an error (below). % runghc Setup.lhs build Preprocessing executables for xmonad-0.4... Building xmonad-0.4... XMonad.hs:38:7: Could not find module `Graphics.X11.Xlib.Extras': it was found in multiple packages: X11-extras-0.4 X11-1.3.0 What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? xmonad-0.4 on OSX 10.4 Please provide any additional information below. As a workaround, I unregistered X11-extras-0.4, updated xmonad.cabal to not have a dependency on it, reran configure and then it built successfully. X11-1.3.0 appears to have bundled the extras so it seems like the separate dependency may no longer be needed. With this workaround, I successfully installed xmonad and it appears to be working fine. If this error is due to a module from XMonadContrib, please tag this issue with 'Component-Contrib' below.

Announce: xmonad 0.4.1
by Don Stewart 03 Nov '07

03 Nov '07

The xmonad strike force is pleased to announce the 0.4.1 release of xmonad! This is a maintainence release with simpler build dependencies. The X11-extras library is no longer required, and instead xmonad uses the improved X11 binding: X11-1.3.0 In other respects this release is functionally identical to xmonad 0.4. As usual, you can find the latest and great codes on hackage: http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/xmonad http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/X11 Brought to you by the xmonad team: Spencer Janssen Don Stewart Jason Creighton Andrea Rossato David Roundy

Problem while building Xmonad
by Santanu Chatterjee 03 Nov '07

03 Nov '07

Hello everybody, I was trying to build xmonad and stumbled upon a problem. I have already installed X11-1.3.0 and X11-extras-0.4. It seems that they both expose a module 'Graphics.X11.Xlib.Extras'. As a result of this, while trying to build xmonad, I get: ---------------------------------------------------------------- santanu@sc214:~/Desktop/xmonad/xmonad-0.4$ runhaskell Setup.lhs build Preprocessing executables for xmonad-0.4... Building xmonad-0.4... XMonad.hs:38:7: Could not find module `Graphics.X11.Xlib.Extras': it was found in multiple packages: X11-extras-0.4 X11-1.3.0 santanu@sc214:~/Desktop/xmonad/xmonad-0.4$ ghc-pkg list /usr/lib/ghc-6.6/package.conf: Cabal-1.1.3, Cabal-1.1.6, X11-1.3.0, X11-extras-0.4, base-2.0, filepath-1.0, (ghc-6.6), haskell98-1.0, mtl-1.0, parsec-2.0, readline-1.0, regex-base-0.71, regex-compat-0.71, regex-posix-0.71, rts-1.0, stm-2.0, template-haskell-2.0, unix-1.0, unix-2.0 ----------------------------------------------------------------- How do I solve this problem? (I am completely new to haskell. So I apologize in advance if this is too trivial a question). By the way, I also tried to unregister X11-1.3.0 and installed X1-1.2.3 (since it does not seem to expose the module in question) and tried again. But that did not work either. Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, Santanu Chatterjee

X11 issues
by Valery V. Vorotyntsev 02 Nov '07

I think that the following X11 issues relate to xmonad. At least indirectly. :) 1. There is $USER variable in X11/README commands. Is this a typo? Shouldn't $HOME be used instead? 2. cd X11 && Setup.hs configure --help Nothing is said about `--without-xinerama' option. 3. There are even more warnings when building without Xinerama: $ runhaskell Setup.hs build ! Setup.hs: Warning: Unknown field 'build-type' Preprocessing library X11-1.3.0... Building X11-1.3.0...
