darcs patch: eliminate a few Eq a constraints in Stac... (and 5 more)
by David Roundy 23 Sep '07

23 Sep '07

Hi all, This is probably my last patch for the day. It implements layout selection in the class-based approach. There's a bit of hokeyness in the handling of the reading of a SomeLayout, but the code is reasonably clean (in my opinion), and it should be back up to the same feature set as xmonad 0.3, except that layout state is preserved on mod-q. I'm still waiting for some sort of agreement that this is a good idea, before converting XMonadContrib (which will be a chore). David Thu Sep 20 17:01:43 EDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * eliminate a few Eq a constraints in StackSet. Thu Sep 20 17:05:27 EDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * remove unneeded Ord constraint. Thu Sep 20 17:28:43 EDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * add (unused) Layout to StackSet. Thu Sep 20 18:12:48 EDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * move Layout into StackSet. WARNING! This changes the format of StackSet, and will definitely mess up your xmonad state, requiring at minimum a restart! Fri Sep 21 16:43:16 EDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * make layouts preserved over restart Fri Sep 21 17:21:59 EDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * add layout selection back into core xmonad using LayoutSelection. This is just a reimplementation of LayoutChoice.

Combo, Roledex, and Accordion
by Tim hobbs 23 Sep '07

Neither my own layout, Roledex, nor Accordion work with Combo. They fail to follow the focus. Is there any help for this? -- - Tim tim.thelion(a)gmail.com

darcs patch: make Circle work with Layout class. (and 2 more)
by Andrea Rossato 22 Sep '07

22 Sep '07

Hi, I started playing with the new class stuff: exciting I'd say. A couple of patches: one to Circle that must export the type constructor. The second one makes TwoPane work with the class system. Just a translation from the old one. I'm trying to grasp the more difficult details ... still have to figure out how to rewrite LayoutHelpers...-;) Andrea Fri Sep 21 23:55:25 CEST 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * make Circle work with Layout class.

transient windows and tabbed layout
by Geoffrey Alan Washburn 21 Sep '07

21 Sep '07

Is it the intended behavior that when using the tabbed layout transient windows will remain even when switching away from the application's window? Or is the problem I am having that my software is not correctly hinting its windows? For example, when I am sending mail in Thunderbird it pops up a progress window. If I switch tabs, the progress window remains. This is not too bad in of itself, but what really annoys me is that whenever the progress meter refreshes, it switches me back to the Thunderbird tab that opened the progress meter window.

Issue 46: xmonad's output (logHook) needs to be separated from output from client programs http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=46 New issue report by br...(a)cenderis.demon.co.uk: What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. start xmonad with a logHook 2. use dmenu (or something else) to start a noisy application (firefox with the realplayer plugin playing, say) What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I'd hope that the status output of logHook would still usefully show focus, workspace state, etc. In fact it shows "playeripc: "Got command GetPlayerUINT32Prop 0 playstate" or similar useless rubbish. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? darcs xmonad on GNU/Linux. Please provide any additional information below. This is at least arguably a bug in almost all X applications. They're printing debugging information that's almost surely useless for almost all purposes. However, I fear such applications aren't likely to be fixed any time soon (it seems normal for KDE and GNOME applications to produce stupid logging when things start up), so in the mean time it would probably be useful for window managers to have some kind of workaround. Perhaps have logHook to a named pipe rather than stdout? Or just redirect output (to /dev/null would be fine, IMHO) from clients started using dmenu (or the XMonadContrib alternatives)? If this error is due to a module from XMonadContrib, please tag this issue with 'Component-Contrib' below. It's not, though there are modules in XMonadContrib which are also affected.

darcs patch: eliminate a few Eq a constraints in Stac... (and 4 more)
by David Roundy 20 Sep '07

20 Sep '07

Hi all, Here's a final patch, which makes the layouts be preserved across xmonad restarts. I've tested it gently, but since XMonadContrib hasn't yet been converted, I haven't used it with for normal work. Note that this version is a regression in that only a single Layout is supported. This'll be fixed when we move LayoutChoice into xmonad proper. David Thu Sep 20 17:01:43 EDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * eliminate a few Eq a constraints in StackSet.
