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...(a)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.

Does auto-completion fail gracefully? In this case it won't auto-complete strings with slashes, but nothing more. -- vvv

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

Issue 81: X11-1.3.0 won't build on OSX 10.4 without altering X11.cabal to point to /usr/X11R6/lib http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=81 Comment #7 by dons00: Can you build and install a newer version of cabal (which will resolve the build-type error, and hopefully also get the paths right in the first place). http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/Cabal-1.2.2.0 Thanks for your persistence. If you can reproduce this problem with darcs X11 and latest Cabal, then we can really proceed to squash it. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
