darcs patch: fix X.U.Run.spawnPipe fd leak
by Tomas Janousek 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

Hello, spawnPipe was leaking the read end of the pipe in the parent, causing xmonad to pass all of those to every launched process. This fixes it and I think it should go into the release, if it isn't too late. Regards, Sun Oct 25 22:02:46 CET 2009 Tomas Janousek <tomi(a)nomi.cz> * fix X.U.Run.spawnPipe fd leak

Issue 200 in xmonad: xmonad spins in a tight loop changing focus back and forth
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 26 Oct '09

Comment #10 on issue 200 by wirtwolff: xmonad spins in a tight loop changing focus back and forth http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=200 Yes, indeed, this setting makes a big difference. SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN was not set in any environment on any of my machines. Exporting SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk starts a fight between OO and xmonad updatePointer for control of the mouse pointer whenever new dialogs or toolbars get created. SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=kde seems to work fine with updatePointer, as does gen or leaving it unset. However, on these machines, as far as kde support is concerned I've only installed the minimum needed to run kdiff3, so most of kde is likely missing, skewing the results. Using gtk works fine so far with updatePointer removed from logHook. Will try appending it to my navigation key actions instead. That should reduce or eliminate conflicts while still allowing gtk themed OO plus pointer updates. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Ideas: headlines for 0.9 release?
by Don Stewart 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

I'm preparing the release announcement. Do people have thoughts on killer features that have appeared since 0.8 that should be pointed out to anyone hearing about xmonad? If have: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The headlines: * Focus changes across screens with mouse movement, no longer requiring a click, even for empty workspaces. * New --restart command line flag to restart a running xmonad process. * Supports for multi-module local configuration files * Support for user-defined X event handling * xmonad comes with 180 extensions for enhancing functionality * Over 3000 commits have been made to the project. Extensive change logs: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Notable_changes_since_0.8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Comment #9 on issue 200 by liskni.si: xmonad spins in a tight loop changing focus back and forth http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=200 I was able to fix it by not exporting SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=kde (or gtk). That should be equivalent to SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen for people whose ooo detects gnome/gtk. While trying to reproduce, did you use the generic look or kde/gtk? -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Comment #8 on issue 200 by wirtwolff: xmonad spins in a tight loop changing focus back and forth http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=200 I am not able to reproduce this with or without UpdatePointer using gentoo openoffice-bin-3.1.1. I have seen it in the past with oo 3.0.1 but not recently even though still on that version on ubuntu jaunty box. I am using EWMH support and updatePointer Relative regularly on both these machines, fwiw. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Comment #7 on issue 200 by liskni.si: xmonad spins in a tight loop changing focus back and forth http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=200 I'm experiencing exactly this issue with todays darcs checkout. As I use X.A.UpdatePointer, I do have the opportunity to not move the mouse out of the window, however, I often forget about this (it's my first day of focusFollowsMouse) and have to kill ooffice from console. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
