Issue 97 in xmonad: xmonad stops responding to keyboard input after running xscreensaver

Issue 97: xmonad stops responding to keyboard input after running xscreensaver http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=97 Comment #2 by thomas.adam22: I don't think this problem is xscreensaver specific, and I would argue is a red-herring. I too find for no apparent reason that after sometime, Firefox no longer responds to keyboard focus unless it is either moved to the floating layer and retiled or a new window is opened. This will be an issue with Firefox though, and not of XMonad itself. How best to fix it (whether XMonad can send a synthetic event to Firefox or not) is still something I am pondering. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 96 in xmonad: certain dialogs get dropped in gnucash

Issue 96: certain dialogs get dropped in gnucash http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=96 Comment #2 by thomas.adam22: I bet I know what this bug is (I'm assuming transient windows here): The window is being mapped and unmapped. If you were to use something like xscope then you might see that: a) Application sends a mapRequest. a1) Before xmonad has a chance to do that, the application asks to be put in the WithDrawn state (via a synthetic UnmapNotify event). b) The window is mapped. c) GNUCash sends a MapRequest. d) Another UnmapNotify request is sent and the window is UnMapped. e) The MapRequest from (c) is handled and a real UnMapNotify request is issued causing the window it close, never being mapped again. I'm guessing this is what's happening, but I don't run GnuCash. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

xmonad, and trends in the tiling wm market
by Don Stewart 08 Dec '07

08 Dec '07

We've not much information on what's happening with tiling wms. One source of info is the debian package system's popularity contest: if a package is in debian, we get to see a snapshot of trends. Here's a little analysis of what's been happening with the tiling wms in 2007: http://galois.com/~dons/images/tiling-window-managers.png Summary: * ion continues long term decline * ratpoison was in a place to take advantage of ion controversy * wmii and dwm continue long term growth * in late 07, the two new tiling window managers, xmonad and awesome, begin eating away at ion, ratpoison and dwm users * larswm and stumpwm are static For xmonad my hope is that improved packaging, and the ease of adding extensions, to appear in this weekend's release of xmonad 0.5 will lead to further growth. Along with xmonad's technical features over the competition, I hope to see continued growth in the coming year. We're working hard at ensuring this is the best tiling wm! Our challenge is to make the cost of installing a Haskell toolchain easier, though, so its cheaper to experiment with xmonad. This comes down to improved ghc packaging on each distro. -- Don
