Still trying to get Gnome + Xmonad Working
by Jevin Maltais 30 Mar '08

30 Mar '08

Hi guys! Thanks to those who updated the Xmonad+Gnome wiki page. I'm still having issues getting them to play nice together. I'm building from darcs as I'd like to play around with extending EWMH to work with the workspace panel applet. The issue is that all the windows seem to pile on top of each other on the top left corner. I've tried using the defaultGaps setting just to see if xmonad will shift itself down below the gnome-panel but it doesn't. It stays overtop of it. Initally: .gnomerc was set to exec /usr/bin/xmonad, but since I'm building from darcs in my home dir, I believe it should be ~/jevin/.xmonad/xmonad. So it seems that xmonad doesn't seem to be using the config (based on defaultGaps not working) where should it be pointed to? Anyways, any pointers are appreciated: darcs is built in ~/darcs/xmonad .gnomerc: export WINDOW_MANAGER=~/.xmonad/xmonad xmonad.hs: import XMonad import XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks import XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops myLogHook :: X () myLogHook = do ewmhDesktopsLogHook return () main = xmonad $ defaultConfig { borderWidth = 2 , manageHook = manageDocks , workspaces = map show [1 .. 5 :: Int] , logHook = myLogHook , layoutHook = avoidStruts (tall ||| Mirror tall ||| Full) } where tall = Tall 1 (3/100) (1/2) Jevin -- Jevin Maltais [jevin(a)techie.com] http://jevy.org

proposal: add extra screen parameter to runLayout
by Brent Yorgey 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

So, this morning I began hacking up gaps as a LayoutModifier in contrib. I didn't get too far before I realized that in order to retain the same behavior as the current built-in gaps (*per screen* gap configuration), a layout needs to be able to know on which *screen* it is called! This is the point at which I had a profound sense of deja vu, since of course we had the same issue with PerWorkspace, only with *screen* replaced by *workspace*. gah! I think, however, this could be useful information for other potential layouts as well -- I don't have any particular examples in mind, but having layouts that can behave differently depending on which screen they're on sounds like it could be useful for more than just per-screen gaps. So, I propose to add an extra screen parameter to runLayout and friends (which of course requires a bunch of trivial updates in contrib, unfortunately). I'm happy to do all the work, but I wanted to throw this idea out there first and see what people think, whether anyone has any better ideas, and so on. -Brent

Layout switching (rather than cycling)
by Anze Slosar 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

Hi, How can I bind certain layouts to key combinations? So rather than cycle thorugh layouts with Mod Space, I'd like Mod F1 to give me layout 1, Mod F2 to give me layout 2, etc... I've been googling for a bit, but can't find an answer. Thanks. anze phone: +1 (510) 495 2488, mobile: +1 (510) 289 9395, fax: +1 (510) 486 7149 -- "Neprijavljen student na Praktikumu je namrec nezgresljiv znak za kosmatinca, ki je prisel k nam le prezimit."

Issue 167: PerWorkspace + MultiToggle bug, PerWorkspace layout not responding to messages http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=167 New issue report by byorgey: What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. put a call to 'mkToggle' somewhere above a call to 'onWorkspace' in your layoutHook. 2. Try to send messages to the layout given as the first argument to 'onWorkspace', e.g. switch layouts with mod-space. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? The layout does not respond to messages. I've attached a minimal xmonad.hs which illustrates the problem.
