Issue 99: Add support for window manager replacement and a --replace flag http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=99 Comment #3 by SpencerJanssen: --version support is done. I don't think we'll do --display. I'd like to see --replace support.

Issue 109: Xmonad sometimes crashes when evince closes http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=109 Comment #1 by SpencerJanssen: Are you using X11 1.4.1? There are bugs in older versions that avoidStruts triggers. Please upgrade and let us know whether this problem persists. Remember that you must clean and reinstall xmonad and xmonad-contrib, and also remove ~/.xmonad/xmonad. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 104: Window padding and/or transparent normalBorderColor http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=104 Comment #2 by thayerw: Thanks for the response, Dave. Unfortunately, having a very limited knowledge of programming, I have not been able to produce this result within xmonad.hs, nor have I found any example configs using this either. By the way, I meant for this to be marked as an Enhancement rather than a Defect. Thanks again -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 109: Xmonad sometimes crashes when evince closes http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=109 New issue report by stucchio: What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Open a pdf file in evince. 2. Close evince. You can close it with the xmonad "kill" command, by asking evince to exit (from the menu), or by killing the process with a terminal. I've gotten xmonad to crash by any of these methods. 3. Get lucky. It doesn't happen every time, but definately often enough to be annoying. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect xmonad/xwindows not to crash. Instead, it does, and I'm dumped back to the login screen. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Xmonad 0.5. Linux version 2.6.15-29-386 (buildd@terranova) (gcc version 4.0.3 (Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu5)) I'm also running gnome with xmonad. Please provide any additional information below. I've attached my xmonad.hs file. Perhaps there is a problem there. If this error is due to a module from XMonadContrib, please tag this issue with 'Component-Contrib' below.

You could probably construct column from Tall. Then you Ah. So I wasn't too far off-beam then, which is comforting. I played around with this idea, but to be honest, given your explanation about stacks, it makes using LayoutCombinators impossible if WindowNavigator cannot be used along with it to switch focus. A very annoying limitation. -- Thomas Adam

I don't know how badly mplayer misbehaves in tiled mode. -- David Roundy Department of Physics Oregon State University

Issue 107: Floating windows cause combo-boxes and other widgets in applications to faill. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=107 Comment #2 by thomas.adam22: Well, quite, I did note that. I can't reproduce it reliably, if at all, which makes this really annoying to track down. :) But I've seen this behaviour many times in xmonad, and not anywhere else. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 106 in xmonad: LayoutCombinators disallows custom key-bindings to work?

Issue 106: LayoutCombinators disallows custom key-bindings to work? http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=106 Comment #2 by SpencerJanssen: Corrected layouts config: myLayouts = windowNavigation ((Tall 1 (3/100) (1/2) *//* Full) ||| (Tall 1 (3/100) (1/2) ***||** Full) ||| Full ||| etc..) main = xmonad defaultConfig { layoutHook = myLayouts } As documented, you must apply the 'windowNavigation' transformer to your layouts for these keybindings to work.

Can we have more information? I don't see how typical drop down menus should be affected, xmonad doesn't manage those windows at all. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
