Hi, with this patch the we can write applications with cut and paste capabilities. Spencer: if you don't like the formatting, or where the functions have been located I can edit and resend. Let me know, please. Cheers, Andrea Mon Aug 6 11:33:29 CEST 2007 Andrea Rossato <andrea.rossato(a)unibz.it> * Extras.hsc: added xSetSelectionOwner, xGetSelectionOwner, xConvertSelection With this patch it is possible to use Selections from the Haskell side.

Question about window ordering
by Michael Vanier 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

I just installed the Tabbed extension, and it's great (thanks, David!). Now I can probably ditch ion for good. However, the tabs revealed to me something I hadn't noticed before: that a new window gets placed to the left of the currently selected window. Is there any way to make the new window come up to the right of the currently selected window, which I find more intuitive? Thanks, Mike

Issue 4 in xmonad: Separate focus for tiled and floating layers

Issue 4: Separate focus for tiled and floating layers http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=4 Comment #6 by dons00: The floating layer is done, so I'm refining this ticket to just the 2 cursor issue. The stack changes required are bigger than i'd anticipated. In favour of stability, I'm bumping this back a revision. The remaining issue with the floating layer is well understood, and only appears in fullscreen mode: we can live with that as a `feature' for now.

Issue 35: No-mans land to send windows off to http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=35 Comment #1 by dons00: Won't implement. You can achieve this behaviour now by reserving a workspace for this purpose. Send the client to that reserved workspace, with specific bindings for it in your config file.

Issue 38 in xmonad: Make inserting new windows configurable to left or right of current window

Issue 38: Make inserting new windows configurable to left or right of current window http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=38 Comment #1 by dons00: Something to look at. Would be fairly easy, and has been requested twice now. An extension would be to allow other arbitrary insert behaviour. There's some overlap here with the manage hooks too.

Issue 38: Make inserting new windows configurable to left or right of current window http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=38 New issue report by mvanier42: It would be great to be able to configure whether new windows in full mode are placed to the right or the left of the currently displayed window. The current code always places the new window to the left of the current window.

xmd and xmonad
by Andrea Rossato 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

Hi, yesterday I had a coule of nasty experiences with xdm, the X display manager. Indeed I discovered the when pressing mod-q repeatedly XMonad will quit, instead of restarting, and you will be prompted with a new xdm login screen. I can always reproduce it: start X with xdm, and then login. Press mod-q twice or more and you are out. I cannot reproduce if I connect to Xmd from a remote X server launched with the -query option. For instance: /usr/bin/Xnest -ac -query localhost :1 will not reproduce the error. I cannot reproduce it with Kdm (I did not try with Gdm since it's not installed on my system). Can this be related to the way Xdm manages local sessions? I have the feeling that this could be the problem. By the way it is quite a nasty experience, not different from a crash. And the user should be at least warned. Ciao, Andrea PS: Instruction to run Xdm in a second X server: 1. change /etc/X11/xdm/Xserver to: :10 local /usr/bin/X :10 2. start xdm with: xdm The display you'll have to connect to will be :10. Now you can test the problem.

darcs patch: XPrompt.hs: removed defaultPromptConfig.... (and 4 more)
by Andrea Rossato 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

Hi, I'm resending the whole bundle once again. What's new: an important patch to XPrompt, that will make XMonad crash if the ~/.xmonad_history file is not found. The rest is the same as before, except for a small haddock fix to LayoutScreens.hs. Andrea Sat Aug 4 20:32:52 CEST 2007 Andrea Rossato <andrea.rossato(a)unibz.it> * XPrompt.hs: removed defaultPromptConfig. use defautlXPConfig instead Sat Aug 4 20:59:14 CEST 2007 Andrea Rossato <andrea.rossato(a)unibz.it> * XPrompt.hs: read history lazily Instead of forcing the reading of all the history file we read it lazily. Sun Aug 5 14:41:30 CEST 2007 Andrea Rossato <andrea.rossato(a)unibz.it> * XPrompt.hs: getCompletion should check for completions of the last word of the command line Sun Aug 5 23:58:00 CEST 2007 Andrea Rossato <andrea.rossato(a)unibz.it> * LayoutScreen: haddock cleanup Mon Aug 6 00:59:06 CEST 2007 Andrea Rossato <andrea.rossato(a)unibz.it> * XPrompt: removed touchFile (which is not the equivalent of touch!)
