Issue 171: focus switching problems with xxkb http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=171 Comment #4 by dons00: Closing this, as its an application issue. Do we have a definitive document somewhere that states that applications relying on reparenting are in violation of the spec?

Issue 173 in xmonad: Feature request: Extension for 'always on visible desktop' windows

Issue 173: Feature request: Extension for 'always on visible desktop' windows http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=173 New issue report by veselov: I'd like to have a possibility to mark particular floating window as 'Always on visible workspace' (there is such possibility in Gnome's metacity, etc.). It might be quite handy for watching video in a background while switching between workspaces and doing another stuff. Example steps: 1. I want to see some floating window (mplayer, etc.) in each workspace. 2. I press some hotkey to make it 'always visible'. 3. The window should follow me while I'm switching between workspaces. 4. I can press another (or the same) hotkey to toggle this window state. I'm not sure if I can implement it by myself, but I should try :) Issue attributes: Status: New Owner: ---- Labels: Type-Defect Priority-Medium -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 171: focus switching problems with xxkb http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=171 Comment #2 by allbery.b: xmonad is a non-reparenting window manager by design. I would expect xxkb to fail with other non- reparenting window managers such as ratpoison and dwm as well. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 171: focus switching problems with xxkb http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=171 Comment #1 by sgsoftware: Just wanted to report that same problem, but you were first :) I did a little investigation and as far as I can see, xxkb relies on the wm calling XReparentWindow when a window is created. But XMonad doesn't call this function (twm does and most other wms, I suppose, too). So the question is: is this an xmonad's failure or a failure of xxkb to rely on a non-standard wm behavior? -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Gaps not working
by Bas van Dijk 08 Apr '08

08 Apr '08

Hello, I've noticed that the support for 'gaps' has been removed from xmonad 0.7. I see that the gaps can now be added by the extension module: XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks. However I'm having some trouble getting xmonad to recognize my xmobar dock. Here are the relevant parts from my xmonad.hs: (I also attached the full file and my .xmobarrc in case it matters) --------------------------------------------------- ... import qualified System.IO as SIO import qualified XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog as DL import qualified XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks as MD ... main = xmonad =<< basConfig basConfig = do xmobar <- R.spawnPipe "xmobar" return $ defaultConfig { logHook = myLogHook xmobar , layoutHook = myLayout ... , manageHook = manageHook defaultConfig <+> MD.manageDocks } myLogHook h = DL.dynamicLogWithPP DL.xmobarPP {DL.ppOutput = SIO.hPutStrLn h} myLayout = MD.avoidStruts $ NB.smartBorders ( tiled ||| Mirror tiled ||| NB.noBorders (T.tabbed D.shrinkText D.defaultTheme { D.decoHeight = 15 } ) ) where tiled = Tall 1 (3/100) (1/2) ... --------------------------------------------------- It would be great if someone can give me some tips to get my gaps working again. Thanks, Bas

Issue 121: java/firefox gray box http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=121 Comment #4 by unlucid: Hi its been a few months since using xmonad but I loaded it up the other day and the Java grey box problem I was having has now gone (OANDA.com) I can't remember the SetWMName steps to get it working but I dont have the environment variable set and it all seems to be working with no grey boxes. thanks -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 172 in xmonad: When managing new windows at startup, hide those that should not be visible

Issue 172: When managing new windows at startup, hide those that should not be visible http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=172 New issue report by SpencerJanssen: xmonad assumes that windows accepted by 'manage' are unmapped. This is the case with windows created while xmonad is running, but is not the case with windows that were created before xmonad has started. How to reproduce: - add a manageHook that sends a window to a workspace that isn't the first - start one of these windows while xmonad is not running - start xmonad - notice that the window appears on the screen while it should be non-visible Thanks to hmich on #xmonad for reporting the problem.
