by lucky 01 Jul '07

Hi. first patch introduces XGetClassHints for x11-extras, the second patch -- simple dwm-like hack: auto-floating windows with specific class names. i'm not a haskell programmer, review it carefully. :) -- Lucky

X11 package installation problem..
by bgm-rao＠ieee.org 30 Jun '07

30 Jun '07

I wanted to install xmonad; the X11 package however does not build: > runhaskell Setup.hs build Preprocessing library X11-1.2.2... /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status linking Graphics/X11/Types_hsc_make.o failed command was: ghc -lX11 Graphics/X11/Types_hsc_make.o -o Graphics/X11/Types_hsc_make Setup.hs: got error code while preprocessing: Graphics.X11.Types The buildinfo has this: -- X11.buildinfo. Generated from X11.buildinfo.in by configure. -- System-dependent values used by Distribution.Simple.defaultUserHooks -- buildable: True cc-options: -I/usr/X11R6/include ld-options: -L/usr/X11R6/lib And they seem all right. Can someone please help to get past this? Regards, Madhu Rao

Failed at compiling XmonadContrib with xmonad 0.2
by Xavier Maillard 30 Jun '07

30 Jun '07

Hi, First, let me congratulate all the xmonad* team for such a cool window manager. Second, this is my problem. I'd like to use several of the XmonadContrib modules but it fails at compiling with this message: Building xmonad-0.2... [ 3 of 14] Compiling XMonadContrib.LayoutHelpers ( XMonadContrib/LayoutHelpers.hs, dist/build/xmonad/xmonad-tmp/XMonadContrib/LayoutHelpers.o ) XMonadContrib/LayoutHelpers.hs:25:25: Module `StackSet' does not export `integrate' I am not a Haskell developper at all (my toy is lisp and only lisp) so I can't fix that by myself. Do you have a clue for me ? Extra bonus question: do you think I can make my own window manager by following your principles (QuickCheck and such). I am currently collaborating to a Common Lisp project but we did not take time to "think" about this and I fear our project is hard to maintain as is. Thank you very much.

Insert window before, insert window after, votes ?
by Dave Harrison 30 Jun '07

30 Jun '07

Thought I'd ask, I've been finding it a bit counter-intuitive that when I open a window, it gets put into the stack before my current window instead of after. Does anyone else agree, or am I on my own ? Obviously this is just a small mod away, but I thought I'd see what everyone else thinks. Cheers Dave

Issue 32: gnome-panel take focus when autohide http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=32 New issue report by lu...(a)uralmail.com: What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. In the gnome-panel properties window "Auto-hide" checkbox is set. 2. Using keyborad or mouse move focus to any other window. 3. When gnome-panel auto-hides, it automaticly take focus. xmonad-darcs I got this behavior after pull next changes: Thu Jun 28 08:50:23 YEKST 2007 * Change a window's workspace when dragging across screens (closes #30) Sun Jun 24 02:14:47 YEKST 2007 David Roundy * support self-modifying layouts.

Heads up: upgrade X11-extras now

Before you update xmonad to the latest darcs, be sure to upgrade X11-extras, or you risk losing windows. Cheers, Spencer Janssen

darcs patch: move Spiral to LayoutHelpers. (and 7 more)
by David Roundy 29 Jun '07

29 Jun '07

Hi all, Here's a resolution of the conflict in Tabbed and Decoration with the new doLayout code. I haven't very thoroughly tested this, but it works with my layout and ought to work with Xinerama as well. David Sat Jun 23 07:35:16 PDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * move Spiral to LayoutHelpers. Sat Jun 23 07:35:42 PDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * introduce idModify which is just "const (return Nothing)". Sat Jun 23 07:37:45 PDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * move Accordian to use idModify. Sat Jun 23 14:09:52 PDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * make everything work with new doLayout. This modifies all the contrib modules to work (so far as I know) with the new contrib layout. The exception is the LayoutHooks module, which isn't used. It exports an API that is inherently unsafe, so far as I can tell (and always has been). Sun Jun 24 08:56:48 PDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * add CopyWindow module, to support sticky/tagged windows. This module allows dwm-style tagging (as I understand dwm). You can have a given window visible in multiple workspaces. If it's visible in two workspaces both of which are visible, a gap will show up in one of them (which is something that needs fixing in xmonad core). Also defines a kill1 which is like kill, but only removes from the current workspace a window if it's in multiple workspaces. Sun Jun 24 10:13:46 PDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * clean up code in Combo. This adds some type safety, since the super-layout is now of a distinct type from the sublayouts. This avoids the ugliness we had, of passing "fake" windows to the super layout. Now we directly lay out the layouts. Fri Jun 29 13:16:36 PDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * resolve conflict in Square. Fri Jun 29 13:45:18 PDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * resolve conflicts in Decoration and Tabbed. Note that you no longer need simpleStacking when using tabbed.

darcs patch: flexible resizing for floating windows
by l.mai＠web.de 29 Jun '07

29 Jun '07

Fri Jun 29 19:10:38 CEST 2007 l.mai(a)web.de * flexible resizing for floating windows The default resize handler for floating windows warps the mouse pointer to the bottom right corner of the window (fixing the opposite, upper left, corner). This extension lets you use any of the four window corners as grabbing points, allowing more flexible resizing.
