How to get decorations to update as window title changes?
by Joseph Garvin 10 May '11

10 May '11

I've setup simple decorations in my xmonad.hs and I can toggle them, which is pretty nice, but I've noticed that I have to toggle the decorations on and off in order to get window titles to update. Firefox for example constantly changes the title of the window to match the website you're currently visiting, and I've setup my terminal to change the window title whenever I switch directories, but xmonad doesn't pick up either of these until I toggle the decorations on and off. Is there a way to have them update as they change? -Joe G.

Issue 451 in xmonad: Problem with popping up gnome menu with a hotkey

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 451 by victor.g...(a)gmail.com: Problem with popping up gnome menu with a hotkey http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=451 gnomeRun() from XMonad.Config.Gnome works, but after replacing _GNOME_PANEL_ACTION_RUN_DIALOG to _GNOME_PANEL_ACTION_MAIN_MENU (I want to popu up menu) there is no menu. I'm attaching a trivial program (in C) that pop-ups menu if compiled with -DMAIN_MENU and run-dialog otherwise. I'm spawning that program from xmonad: ("M-<F1>", spawn "/path/to/gnome-popup"). Results: MAIN_MENU version works only if there is a delay before sending X message. Without delay there is no menu. I'm not sure, but maybe it is some bug in xmonad, because I don't understand, why we need this delay, so I'm reporting it here. Attachments: gnome-popup.c 777 bytes

Issue 449 in xmonad: Off-by-2*wa_border_width error in XMonad.Actions.UpdatePointer
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 07 May '11

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 449 by beneficial.terminator: Off-by-2*wa_border_width error in XMonad.Actions.UpdatePointer http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=449 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Enable XMonad.Actions.UpdatePointer 2. Set borderWidth to 100 (or some other large number) in xmonad config 3. Move the mouse pointer to the right of or below a window, then switch focus to that window What is the expected output? What do you see instead? The pointer should move to the edge or center of the newly focused window. Instead it moves as if the focused window is 200 pixels narrower on the right and 200 pixels shorter at the bottom. In XMonad.Actions.UpdatePointer.windowAttributesToRectangle, because of the way WindowAttributes is calculated, the dimension wa_width wa should be 2 * wa_border_width wa + wa_width wa and analogously the dimension wa_height wa should be 2 * wa_border_width wa + wa_height wa . Please use labels and text to provide additional information. If this error is due to a module from XMonadContrib, please tag this issue with 'Component-Contrib' below.

Wanting to do a window-shift in a event handler
by Michael Norrish 04 May '11

04 May '11

My situation is that I'm using Thunderbird and its External Editor plug-in to write mail. When I invoke the external editor, it brings up an emacs window (calling through emacsclient). I have a manage hook that puts emacs windows into a particular workspace, but I don't want e-mail composition emacs windows to go there. I thought I could handle this by looking at an emacs window's WM_NAME in my ManageHook, but unfortunately, it seems at this point that the title is still just "emacs@<myhost>", which is not helpful. It seems that the useful title (which is of the form "<something-or-other>.eml") gets created a little later. So, I thought I would put in a general eventhandler to watch for a property change, and to then do the shift to the appropriate workspace. So, I added handleEventHook = mappend myhandlePropEvent (handleEventHook defaultConfig) to my modifications of the default config. I then have myhandlePropEvent ev = case ev of PropertyEvent {} -> let w = ev_window ev ... Through calls to trace, I can see that I am indeed picking up on the desired event (the change in the window's name), and I have a window (w above) to hand, but I don't know how to do things to it. My cursory examination of the relevant APIs suggested I could do action <- runQuery (doShift "mail") w giving me a handle on an Endo Windowset, but I don't know how to lift that into the X monad (where I have to eventually return $ All True). Can I use the withWindowSet function somehow? Michael
