Issue 154: add support for UTF-8 locale in NamedWindows and DynamicLog http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=154 Comment #2 by r...(a)ro-che.info: <<I was a bit scared by that "Add bottom-tabbed layout", though - Roman, did you notice that it duplicates what can be done by applying Brent's Reflector to Tabbed?>> You're right, I didn't see it. It would be indeed a more simple solution. I missed it because it's possible only in case of tabbed and generally reflecting is _not_ the proper tool to place decorations at bottom. I just was thinking too generally. Thank you for the note. Now, about locale support. Maybe I missed something (once again :), but I don't understand you when it you're talking about iconv library. Why should window manager ever convert user's data (text) from one encoding to another? Why should it care whether user's locale is UTF-8 or not? (Yeah, I agree with Tuomo here, just because full locale support seems to me not just proper, but simple solution!) As I said in IRC, I am not familiar with Xft yet. But if we're talking about X11 itself, it provides full locale support for free! Just call setlocale, use Xmb* function (why convert strings to wc?) and get it! Why should we ignore it and hurt users who wish to use alternative locales? -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 139: keyboard focus stolen by urxvt's url matcher http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=139 Comment #1 by dons00: I can't reproduce this. Keyboard focus stays in my urxvt session, while firefox opens up a new tab. Possibly a firefox issue?

The interspersed commentary is not appropriate -- Andrea, stop using the bug tracker as as proxy for communicating to the developers directly. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 154: add support for UTF-8 locale in NamedWindows and DynamicLog http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=154 New issue report by andrea.rossato: This is a pre-bug report: did you ever happen to see "Minority Report"? After reading David's report about resource leaks I felt the urgency to pull the latest changes and give them a try. But everything seems fine here. I was a bit scared by that "Add bottom-tabbed layout", though - Roman, did you notice that it duplicates what can be done by applying Brent's Reflector to Tabbed? Very responsive reactions can lead to not so excellent results...;) Then I heard that Roman, aka Feuerbach, is willing to import Xmb* functions in X11 and use them to add locale support to xmonad, by calling setLocale in the core. And that Donald, who seems to be the acting project leader, would be willing to support such an approach. Which means none noticed that in X11 there are Xwc* functions for locale support, and that xmonad has been already supporting XFT, which is locale aware, for quite some months now. Spencer, together with someone whose name I do not recall now, wrote it, even though some bugs were left behind. While fixing those bugs - byorgey pushed the related patches quite a few days ago in order to fix issue #146 and issue #150 - I also added full support for UTF-8 locales, and setLocale is already called when the font system is initialized. While Toumo would reject UTF-8 (only full locale support is acceptable to preserve cultural diversity - and Toumo has probably a point here), still I think it is quite a good second best. Adding full locale support means using the only library that, as far as I know, supports translating from at least a few encodings: iconv. BTW, if you want full locale support I may be sending a patch with a few iconv calls - but you can do it yourself by searching the ML archives. The attached patches are just an attempt to avoid what I came to think is a quite probable possibility: Roman and Donald adding a new and different locale support to xmonad without even noticing the old one - which could lead to unexpected even if interesting effects. The attached patches make it visible the fact that xmonad already support UTF-8 locale when the contrib library is compiled with the "with_utf8" or "use_xft" flags. The prompt don't need them, and the Shell prompt is already UTF-8 aware - if the contrib library is compiled with that support. The fist patch will make getName use the XTextProperty structure to retrieve the window's name. This was contributed in issue #44, but I removed a few bad bugs. This way you'll see non ASCII characters in window's decorations. The second one will encode in UTF-8 the DynamicLog output - so that non ASCII characters in window's names can be correctly logged too -, if, and only if, the contrib library has compiled with those configuration options - you can use this feature with darcs xmobar. In other words, with these patches xmonad is going to fully support UTF-8 locales. Or, even better, the full support for UTF-8 locales will be visible even by xmonad developers. ;) Attachments: utf8_NamedDynLog.dpatch 46.6 KB Issue attributes: Status: New Owner: ---- Labels: Type-Patch Priority-Medium Usability -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
