darcs patch: Add simple addTransientUndo finalizer me... (and 1 more)
by Stefan O'Rear 09 Jun '07

09 Jun '07

Here is my proposal for a sufficient extension to Xmonad to allow extension modules to add decoration. I beleive it is sufficient, and more general (it allows capture of arbitrary events, etc). It also adds 13 fewer lines than droundy's patch. Conversely it is not very useful alone, requiring a XMonadContrib.Decoration module to be created. Comments are welcome.

darcs patch: add sketch of tabbed layout.
by David Roundy 09 Jun '07

09 Jun '07

This is pretty crude, but might interest others. I haven't yet gotten the click stuff working, though. :( It does display the tabs, at least (albeit without labels, but that should be easy). David Sat Jun 9 12:42:22 PDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * add sketch of tabbed layout.

MonadPlus instance for X?
by David Roundy 09 Jun '07

09 Jun '07

Hi all, I'm wondering if there's a reasonable way to implement a MonadPlus instance for X? And would there be support for this? I was thinking that it would be good to implement some sort of exception handling, so that we could make xmonad robust even in the presence of programming errors in the user's Config file. I'm thinking that use of StateT etc together with exceptions must be an already-studied case... See patch I'm about to send, for example of where I'd like to use this (but commented out, so it'll compile). -- David Roundy http://www.darcs.net

Hi, I'm having problems compiling xmonad (see attached log) from the darcs repository (for reference I got it by darcs get --partial http://darcs.haskell.org/~sjanssen/xmonad <http://darcs.haskell.org/%7Esjanssen/xmonad>) The current official snapshot (from http://hackage.haskell.org/cgi-bin/hackage-scripts/package/xmonad-0.2 ) compiles and runs on the same machine: debian "lenny" - the output of ghc-pkg list is /usr/lib/ghc-6.6/package.conf: Cabal-1.1.6, base-2.0, (ghc-6.6), haskell98-1.0, mtl-1.0, parsec-2.0, readline-1.0, regex-base-0.71, regex-compat-0.71, regex-posix-0.71, rts-1.0, stm-2.0, template-haskell-2.0, unix-1.0 /home/avrozen/.ghc/i386-linux-6.6/package.conf: X11-1.2.2, X11-extras-0.2 Cheers, Avi.

JabRef application window not painted
by Krzysztof Kościuszkiewicz 08 Jun '07

08 Jun '07

Hello, That's the only misbehaving application I was able to find. Some windows/dialogs are painted correctly, and others (main window) are just plain gray. This happens only under xmonad, other WMs do not trigger this behaviour. I guess it's applications fault and I've already reported this as a bug, but maybe someone else will have a clue why this might be happening. PS. JabRef lives at http://sf.net/projects/jabref Regards, -- Krzysztof Kościuszkiewicz, Gadu: 111851, Jabber: kokr(a)jabberpl.org "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" -- Leonardo da Vinci

Darcs version on Debian etch?
by Kai Grossjohann 06 Jun '07

06 Jun '07

I'm trying to compile the most recent darcs version on Debian etch, but it requires a new X11-extras, and that complains that X11 is too old (etch has X11-1.2, X11-extras requires X11-1.2.1). What is an easy way to get the new xmonad compiled on Debian? I found http://haskell-unsafe.alioth.debian.org/haskell-unsafe.html but that seems to think that stable == woody, so I am reluctant to rely on it. tia, Kai

darcs patch: Circle layout

Wed Jun 6 08:41:53 CEST 2007 Peter De Wachter <pdewacht(a)gmail.com> * Circle layout Windows are arranged in a circle around the master window. Rather nice to use with a mouse, if you got many windows open. Screenshot: http://caladan.rave.org/circle.png
