You can't necessarily run it on another architecture, so that's what most important to know. And consider: the user will probably never need to run it manually, so for that purpose there is no difference between xmonad-arch-os or os-arch-xmonad or whatever - but when it gets in the way of tab completion (it has enough times to bother me and I think Shacaf also mentioned it bugging him), the user definitely does notice! As for why - this patch is one of a number of patches trying to make the world safe for shell users. -- gwern NSY SBS Atlas government Choe b Macintosh Austin Cornflower KY-75

darcs patch: Move ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs to ~/.xmonad/config.hs
by gwern0＠gmail.com 24 Dec '07

Mon Dec 24 11:49:51 EST 2007 gwern0(a)gmail.com * Move ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs to ~/.xmonad/config.hs This is an example patch for my proposed cleanup of ~/.xmonad/: it's a major renaming change which will break people's setup unless they move their ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs to ~/.xmonad/config.hs. The name is an improvement inasmuch as it is more distinct and clear what the file does, and doesn't mess with tab-completion (see my email). This patch is a set of search-and-replaes, and a move of the doc file xmonad.hs to config.hs. With all my patches applied, ~/.xmonad/ will look like this: "config.hs errors linux-x86_64-xmonad xmonad". These changes currently seem to work fine locally. The next step is to update all the documentation in XMC.

Issue 105: Tabs become managed windows upon xmonad restart on multi-screen setups http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=105 Comment #8 by SpencerJanssen: The problem is that we don't set override redirect on the tab windows, so they appear as manageable by xmonad during the initial window scan. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

darcs patch: switch to nested stacks
by David Roundy 24 Dec '07

24 Dec '07

Hi all, Here's a patch that switches to nested stacks in xmonad core. I haven't converted the test suite, because I've got quickcheck 2 installed, and therefore can't compile the test suite, and I don't intend to uninstall QC2. If this code works as intended (I haven't tried running it either), then it shouldn't change xmonad behavior. I haven't adjusted the LayoutClass to handle nested layouts, so there is considerable work to be done (and not by me, I really should be focussing on darcs, but compiling takes a while, particularly when I have to do actual work on my laptop due to a sketchy internet connection). But I think my ideas are down there. It's a reasonably simple data structure. And it ought to be a clean solution for handling the float layer, besides allowing nested layouts to be implemented cleanly. I haven't implemented full navigation within nested layouts, but that's not hard to implement, and can also be implemented in contrib (or later), if this is accepted. The other reason I've put so little work on this, is that it's not at all clear whether the core xmonad developers would accept a patch implementing this feature, regardless of how well-tested, well-documented, etc it is. So that's what we really need to hear (we being those of us who want this feature, especially those who would be willing to take over its development).

darcs patch: Prompt.hs: mv .xmonad_history into .xmonad/
by gwern0＠gmail.com 24 Dec '07

Mon Dec 24 00:46:10 EST 2007 gwern0(a)gmail.com * Prompt.hs: mv .xmonad_history into .xmonad/ See my email to mailing list. This will slightly break anyone who upgrades while running and expects to see their prompt history, and leave a stray file, I think, but nothing else, and it'll permanently improve tab-completion, and is tidier.

darcs patch: make warning about not editing Config.hs more prominent

Thu Dec 20 15:15:49 EST 2007 Brent Yorgey <byorgey(a)gmail.com> * Config.hs: too many users seem to be ignoring/missing the polite warning not to modify this file; change it to something a bit less polite/more obvious.
