Finally, the first part of our (with Ivan Veselov) xmonad article is published! You can download it from osa.samag.ru after free registration. The goal of the article is to promote xmonad and gain new users. So the intended audience is people who never heard about xmonad and haskell or xmonad newbies. Article explains the main steps in configuring xmonad. The next two parts of the article will be published in the following issues of the journal. At the end I'll publish html version somewhere, probably in xmonad wiki. Thanks to the people who reviewed our work and provided useful comments: * Dmitry Astapov * Oleg Tsibulsky * Dmitrij Czarkoff * Konstantin Barabanov * Dmitry Shurupov * Alexander Solovyov * Marina Sulim http://ro-che.blogspot.com/2008/06/about-xmonad-in-russian.html -- Roman I.

Issue 195: Last window never disappers in GNOME http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=195 Comment #2 by maleb...(a)riseup.net: I just found the reason for this bug. It's a problem in GNOME's libwnck. I recompiled the 2.22.1 version with the attached patch, and the bug is gone. I sent a patch to the libwnck's maintainers with this patch, and I hope it get to the SVN version. This patch was made in the SVN version, but it also applies in GNOME 2.22.1.

darcs patch: Fix window region checking in UpdatePointer (and 1 more)
by Joachim Breitner 10 Jun '08

Hi, this patch could be a possible fix for http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=196 It only moves the pointer when it is not over a non-managed window. It works fine here so far... Greetings, Joachim Sun May 11 11:40:56 CEST 2008 robreim(a)bobturf.org * Fix window region checking in UpdatePointer Tue Jun 10 21:59:16 CEST 2008 Joachim Breitner <mail(a)joachim-breitner.de> * Only move pointers over managed windows

Issue 196 in xmonad: UpdatePointer moves the pointer away from non-managed windows
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 10 Jun '08

Issue 196: UpdatePointer moves the pointer away from non-managed windows http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=196 New issue report by nomeata: Hi, I use gnome-panel with manageDocks, but probably applies to any non-manged windows: When I have the pointer over the panel, and do something that triggers the logHook, the UpdatePointer kicks in, moving the mouse to the window that xmonad thinks is active – even though I’m working on the panel at that moment. One solution might be, that UpdatePointer only moves the pointer if it hovers over a managed window (or no window at all), but not otherwise. Another solution, although probably more difficult, would only run updatePointer when a real focus-changing action was done by the user, e.g. by an xmonad key binding, by new applications starting or by EWMH events.

darcs patch: hide the implementation type in "EwmhDesktopsLayout"
by Joachim Breitner 10 Jun '08

10 Jun '08

Hi, this is what I hope a slight improvement over Malebria’s patch – thx by the way. Greetings, Joachim Tue Jun 10 21:29:18 CEST 2008 Joachim Breitner <mail(a)joachim-breitner.de> * hide the implementation type in "EwmhDesktopsLayout" Instead of exporting the EwmhDesktopsHook type, which is used internally, export a type alias for (HandleEvent EwmhDesktopsHook), so users don't have to update their xmonad.hs if the implementation changes. It could also be wrapped in a newtype, instead of a "type", but that would require manual instances of the various classes, as ghc can automatically derive the LayoutClass instance.
