darcs patch: Prevent windows from being decorated tha... (and 4 more)
by Jan Vornberger 29 Nov '09

29 Nov '09

Hi! Alright, I finally managed to break down the big blob that used to be Bluetile's decoration code into a number of modules. I'll start with this patch bundle, which lays the groundwork for the actual decoration. It mostly extends the decoration code at various places with additional hooks that my other code - to be submitted later - then uses. Current usage of decoration should be unaffected and work as before - maybe a little bit better even. ;-) Sat Jun 27 11:43:16 CEST 2009 Jan Vornberger <jan.vornberger(a)informatik.uni-oldenburg.de> * Prevent windows from being decorated that are too small to contain decoration. -> this one fixes a small bug Sat Oct 24 22:45:13 CEST 2009 Jan Vornberger <jan.vornberger(a)informatik.uni-oldenburg.de> * Added the alignment option 'AlignRightOffset' Sat Oct 24 22:51:11 CEST 2009 Jan Vornberger <jan.vornberger(a)informatik.uni-oldenburg.de> * Extended paintAndWrite to allow for multiple strings to be written into the rectangle Sat Oct 24 23:39:28 CEST 2009 Jan Vornberger <jan.vornberger(a)informatik.uni-oldenburg.de> * Extended decoration theme to contain extra static text that always appears in the title bar -> these three allow to add extra text into the decoration. I use that to write "(M)" at the left side and "_ [] X" at the right side. The default however is to not add any extra text, so this should not affect existing decoration. Sun Nov 29 00:43:10 CET 2009 Jan Vornberger <jan.vornberger(a)informatik.uni-oldenburg.de> * Extended decoration module with more hooks and consolidated some existing ones -> As mentioned above this adds even more hooks. Worth mentioning here is, that I combined 'decorationMouseFocusHook' and 'decorationMouseDragHook' into just 'decorationEventHook'. Both of them got called exactly in the same cases anyway (even so the names suggest otherwise), so having them both just resulted in duplicated code and in some cases I had problems with clicks that weren't recognized. This version seems cleaner and works better for me. Regards! Jan

Issue 345 in xmonad: Xmonad causing emacs --daemon crash
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 28 Nov '09

28 Nov '09

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 345 by JCPetkovich: Xmonad causing emacs --daemon crash http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=345 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. run: "emacs --daemon" in a terminal 2. run: "emacsclient -c" in a terminal 3. close the client window created 4. run: "emacsclient -c" in a terminal, and the emacs daemon will crash What is the expected output? What do you see instead? The daemon shouldn't crash when trying to connect to it with a client. I have noted that this does NOT happen when using KDE, only when using xmonad. This is what lead me to believe that xmonad was the problem. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? emacs 23.1 gentoo kernel 2.6.29-gentoo-r5 xmonad 0.9 Are you using an xmonad.hs? Please attach it and the output of "xmonad --recompile". [me@linux-box .xmonad] % xmonad --recompile [me@linux-box .xmonad] % Please provide any additional information below. I am going to try using xmonad from within KDE to see if it has the same issue as soon as I have the time.

Retrieve number of screens.
by Mike Sampson 28 Nov '09

28 Nov '09

How do you retrieve the number of screens currently being used. I have tried: screenCount :: Int screenCount = do wsx <- gets windowset return (length (W.screens wsx)) however it gives an error: xmonad.hs:60:4: Couldn't match expected type `Int' against inferred type `m b' In a stmt of a 'do' expression: wsx <- gets windowset In the expression: do wsx <- gets windowset return (length (W.screens wsx)) In the definition of `screenCount': screenCount = do wsx <- gets windowset return (length (W.screens wsx)) I used XMonad.Actions.CycleWS's screenBy as a guide: screenBy :: Int -> X (ScreenId) screenBy d = do ws <- gets windowset --let ss = sortBy screen (screens ws) let now = screen (current ws) return $ (now + fromIntegral d) `mod` fromIntegral (length (screens ws)) Regards, Mike

Issue 332 in xmonad: Merge isDialog from Hooks.ManageHelpers into core
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 332 by icarnales: Merge isDialog from Hooks.ManageHelpers into core http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=332 As not all applications set the transient hint for the windows they spawn (that mostly are dialogs), with firefox being one of this apps I suggest to merge isDialog into core and add a ManageHook for floating dialog windows in the default config. This is the "expected behaviour" for dialog windows, and is a good workaround that corrects the bad applications behaviour. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 329 by OrbisVicis: Actions.UpdatePointer becomes confused, cursor jumps everywhere http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=329 What steps will reproduce the problem? 0. XMonad 0.9 1. logHook = updatePointer (Nearest) 2. spiralWithDir West CW (4/5) 3. open a lot (10) of windows 4. move the mouse rapidly What is the expected output? What do you see instead? The cursor should stop moving when I stop moving it. Instead, it perpetually jumps around several windows. This also sometimes happens with Layout.Accordion, during normal usage (not moving the mouse rapidly) -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Updates: Status: Invalid Comment #1 on issue 260 by byorgey: Xmonad + Evince presentation mode fails to change pages correctly http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=260 Do you still have this problem? I can't reproduce this--I use evince all the time in presentation mode with no problems. I kind of doubt this is an xmonad problem, so closing for now. Feel free to reopen if it's still a problem; providing a minimal xmonad.hs which exhibits the problem, and the exact method you can use to reproduce the problem, would help to diagnose the issue. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
