Comment #1 on issue 256 by sean.escriva: Xmonad should start programs in the workspace they were launched http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=256 This is sane default behavior. Where applications launch can be finely controlled in the ManageHook. For your case: className =? "YourBrowsersClass" --> doShift "YourWebWorkspace" There are other elements you can match on, see the documentation: http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad/XMonad-ManageHook.html -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 254 in xmonad: XMonad.Contrib.Util.Run.runInTerm does not work with terminal = "gnome-terminal"

Comment #3 on issue 254 by twpayne: XMonad.Contrib.Util.Run.runInTerm does not work with terminal = "gnome-terminal" http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=254 'If that is so, then why not use double quotes then?' Because then it would be fragile with respect to double quotes :-) The problem here is that a string is being built that is then passed to the shell (/bin/sh -c). It's quite tricky to get all the quoting right when the user input can contain shell metacharacters. Rather than building a string it can be easier and safer to to pass arguments as an array to exec, this avoids all the shell malarky. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 256 by oscar.boykin: Xmonad should start programs in the workspace they were launched http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=256 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Launch a program (using dmenu for instance) 2. change workspaces before the window is shown 3. Observe that the program is launched in the new window (and often steals focus) What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I would prefer if the window would be launched in the workspace in which it was started. For instance, workspace 2 is used for web browsing, it would be nice to start a browser there, and switch workspaces and not have the browser start in the new workspace. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Xmonad 0.8 packaged with Ubuntu 8.10 Please provide any additional information below. If this error is due to a module from XMonadContrib, please tag this issue with 'Component-Contrib' below. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

I can't find where to tag this issue with "Component-Contrib", maybe because I'm only a "user" of this project. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 254 in xmonad: XMonad.Contrib.Util.Run.runInTerm does not work with terminal = "gnome-terminal"

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 254 by twpayne: XMonad.Contrib.Util.Run.runInTerm does not work with terminal = "gnome-terminal" http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=254 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Configure XMonad with terminal = "gnome-terminal" 2. Use any of the XMonad.Contrib.Prompt.modules that use runInTerm, e.g. XMonad.Contrib.Prompt.Ssh What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Expect to see a new terminal window with an ssh session in it. Instead, a terminal window appears very briefly and then disappears. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? xmonad-0.8 and xmonad-contrib-0.8 on Ubuntu 8.10. Please provide any additional information below. The problem is due to a difference between how xterm and gnome-terminal interpret the -e command line option. xterm -e consumes all remaining arguments gnome-terminal -e consumes a single argument runInTerm invokes $terminal like this: $terminal -e $command This does not work with gnome-terminal if $command contains spaces, e.g. if $command = "ssh localhost". gnome-terminal executes "ssh" only, and ignores the "localhost" argument. A possible fix is to modify runInTerm to pass the command in single quotes, e.g. $terminal -e '$command' Of course, this is somewhat fragile: it will break if $command contains single quotes. As a work around, the attached script "gnome-terminal-wrapper" provides xterm -e style behaviour for gnome-terminal, i.e. causes -e to consume all remaining arguments.
