FBpanel Lohook
by Jan Snyder 23 Nov '09

23 Nov '09

Hi, I am interested to use loghook in FBpanel or any other panel like perl-panel. I have fbpanel now. I like the plain script lohook that shows workspace-names and tile-names. I know this can be ported to gnome-panel through a loghook applet, but would prefer to use fbpanel. NOt sure how to make a loghook applet for fbpanel. Is there a simple script to link the loghook to EWMH in fbpanel? thanks, Jan Snyder On Fri, Nov 20, 2009 at 7:25 PM, <xmonad-request(a)haskell.org> wrote: > Send xmonad mailing list submissions to > xmonad(a)haskell.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/xmonad > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > xmonad-request(a)haskell.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > xmonad-owner(a)haskell.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of xmonad digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1. darcs patch: X.H.DynamicLog: fix xmonadPropLog > double-encoding of U...

Issue 343 in xmonad: XMonad.Prompt.RunOrRaise doesnt always detect an already running program
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 23 Nov '09

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 343 by h2oz7v: XMonad.Prompt.RunOrRaise doesnt always detect an already running program http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=343 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Launch a Firefox instance using RunOrRaise 2. Switch workspaces 3. Launch Firefox again in RunOrRaise What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect the already running instance of Firefox to be moved ("raised") to the different workspace. Instead, a new Firefox window is opened. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Linux, xmonad v0.9 -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Updates: Summary: Implement a working X.U.putSelection Comment #13 on issue 317 by daniel.schoepe: Implement a working X.U.putSelection http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=317 putSelection has been removed for now until we have a clean way to do this. For now, someone who wants to use this feature can define a function that uses xclip/xsel to set the selection and use that function in his prompt keymap. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Re: XMonad.Hooks.FadeInactive with floating windows
by Justin Bogner 20 Nov '09

This seems generally useful, so I'm sending your idea and patch to the xmonad mailing list. It's best to send ideas about xmonad/xmonad-contrib improvements there, so they get a wider audience.

Re: [xmonad] xmonad 0.9 on ubuntu 9.10

I tried that and it seems xmonad was running i.e. windows weren't decorated, but they didn't fill tile across the screen and had their usual gnome size.

darcs patch: X.H.ManageDocks: ignore struts that cover an entire sc...
by Tomas Janousek 19 Nov '09

Thu Nov 19 15:50:43 CET 2009 Tomas Janousek <tomi(a)nomi.cz> * X.H.ManageDocks: ignore struts that cover an entire screen on that screen Imagine a screen layout like this: 11111111 11111111 11111111 222222 <--- xmobar here 222222 222222 When placing xmobar as indicated, the partial strut property indicates that an entire height of screen 1 is covered by the strut, as well as a few lines at the top of screen 2. The original code would create a screen rectangle of negative height and wreak havoc. This patch causes such strut to be ignored on the screen it covers entirely, resulting in the desired behaviour of a small strut at the top of screen 2. Please note that this semantics of _NET_WM_STRUT and _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL is different to what is in wm-spec. The "correct" thing to do would be to discard the covered portion of screen 1 leaving two narrow areas at the sides, but this new behaviour is probably more desirable in many cases, at least for xmonad/xmobar users. The correct solution of having separate _NET_WM_STRUT_PARTIAL for each Xinerama screen was mentioned in wm-spec maillist in 2007, but has never really been proposed, discussed and included in wm-spec. Hence this "hack". -- Tomáš Janoušek, a.k.a. Liskni_si, http://work.lisk.in/

xmonad 0.9 on ubuntu 9.10
by Tony Morris 19 Nov '09

Hello, I am trying to get xmonad running on ubuntu 9.10 per http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Using_xmonad_in_Gnome#Ubuntu_Karm… I have set the WINDOW_MANAGER in ~/.gnomerc but when gnome starts I get a background screen, no gnome panel/menu and no ability to use xmonad keys (e.g. CTRL-mod-enter does not start a terminal). I have tried other methods mentioned on the link above and encountered no to poor success. Any hints? -- Tony Morris http://tmorris.net/

Plasma hiding xmobar
by Matteo 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

Hi, I installed xmonad and xmobar. Everything goes fine, except that sometimes (not always) my xmobar gets covered by KDE's plasma desktop. I'm running Kubuntu 9.10. It's quite annoying, since I miss the clock on the bar. screenshot: http://img5.imageshack.us/i/screenac.jpg/ you can see the space on top of the screen, where the bar should go. It usually works, but it seems random to me, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Matt.

xmobar bug?
by J. Bobby Lopez 18 Nov '09

18 Nov '09

Hello, I just read this thread:http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=283 And it explains a problem I am having where Xmonad 0.8 hangs every once in a while. The solution seems to suggest setting up StdinReader correctly, but I'm not sure exactly where/how to do that? Is it something I have to set up in .xmobarrc, or in .xmonad/xmonad.hs? Anyone have an example? Thanks, Bobby
