two monitors one workspace
by Eugene Tarasov 09 Jul '09

09 Jul '09

Hello, I have some trouble with xmonad multihead configuration. It displays one workspace in two monitors, mod+w,e,r don't work. How to get multihead configuration with two different workspaces on two monitors described in all tutorials? I've tried it with gdm and xdm. My xorg.conf is in attachment.

Issue 304 in xmonad: bad interaction between toggleWS and ScratchPad
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 09 Jul '09

Comment #1 on issue 304 by daniel.schoepe: bad interaction between toggleWS and ScratchPad http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=304 As a quick workaround, define this in your xmonad.hs and bind a key to it instead of toggleWS: myToggle = windows $ W.view =<< W.tag . head . filter ((\x -> x /= "NSP" && x /= "SP") . W.tag) . W.hidden The problem with putting that in the CycleWS module would be, that it would affect users that use SP or NSP as normal workspaces in a bad way. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 304 in xmonad: bad interaction between toggleWS and ScratchPad

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 304 by j...(a)kitenet.net: bad interaction between toggleWS and ScratchPad http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=304 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Enable both XMonad.Actions.CycleWS and the ScratchPad 2. Pop up ScratchPad 3. Cause toggleWS to run What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I'd expect to switch to the workspace that I was previously on before going to the current one. Instead, I'm switched to the special "SP" workspace that holds the scratchpad. Even though I never normally switch to that workspace, it seems that internally the ScratchPad code, in moving a window to or from it, updates the record of the previous workspace that toggleWS uses. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? 0.8.1; Debian unstable Are you using an xmonad.hs? Please attach it and the output of "xmonad --recompile". Attached. --recompile is quiet. Please provide any additional information below.

switching windows' Z-order?
by Chengqi(Lars) Song 05 Jul '09

05 Jul '09

Hi, I have problem when using gimp. all Gimp's windows are set to be float. But when I open two pictures, the 1st one's window is covered by the 2nd one. And there is no way to switch their Z-order so that the 1st one can be brought to front. Is there any way to always bring the focused window front? thanks lars

Virtual Box won't release keyboard or mouse when used in xmonad
by Jordan Wilberding 04 Jul '09

04 Jul '09

Greetings, When I try to use VirtualBox in xmonad, it fails to give up control of the mouse or keyboard when I use the release key (right ctrl). I was hoping this was just a bug from a while ago in virtual box or xmonad, but I just tried it again this morning and still have the same problem? Anyone know a good work around? Thanks!

Xmonad system-wide keyboard hook
by Rickard Nilsson 04 Jul '09

04 Jul '09

Hi, Is there a way to make XMonad grab keyboard input globally, so that other applications that also hook the keyboard globally (like VirtualBox) can't steal Xmonad's hot keys? Regards, Rickard Nilsson

Comment #4 on issue 303 by twpedersen: Quake 3 and other OpenGL programs crash and bring down xmonad and X with them. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=303 I now believe the problem lies with SDL, but again, it doesn't occur with other WMs. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

tabbed, floating & focus
by Konstantin Sobolev 02 Jul '09

02 Jul '09

Hello, I need a hint on how to fix a weird behavior of the Tabbed layout: imagine you have 2 windows in tabbed: A and B. A has focus. Now you call up a floating window C, like Scratchpad, and it takes focus. Then you move your mouse and, without hiding C, click on B tab, B gets focus. Now, if only you somehow give focus back to C (like drag the mouse over it) - tabbed will switch back to A. In the other words you can't switch tabs after you've added a floating window: as soon as floating gets focus again, tabbed restores it's state as it was before the floating window was added. It's quite annoying and I'd like to fix it, but X.L.Decoration logic is too complicated to me. Or maybe I should look at some other place?
