Issue 462 in xmonad: Ewmh desktop handle event doesn't correctly handle _NET_WM_DESKTOP message type

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 462 by punitagr...(a)gmail.com: Ewmh desktop handle event doesn't correctly handle _NET_WM_DESKTOP message type http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=462 In xmonad-contrib source package, in the folder XMonad/Hooks/EwmhDesktops.hs in the "handle" function when processing "_NET_WM_DESKTOP" message type the argument n is checked for 0 <= n <= length ws. The specification at http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-1.3.html#id2507080 states that when n is 0xffffffff the window is requesting to be placed on all desktops. Instead xmonad logs an error to .xsession-errors file. This bug triggered for me when trying to use xmonad as the window manager within kde. On launching krunner using "Windows-P" combination from kde4Config krunner doesn't appear. I am using ver 0.9.1 of xmonad on Kde 4.5.5 in Ubuntu 10.10. I had a quick look at the code to see if there was an easy fix but my Haskell is quite poor to attempt any changes. I'll be glad to test a fix though. Thanks, Punit Attachments: xmonad.hs.bak 2.2 KB

darcs patch: ungrab-keyboard-before-action
by Ben Boeckel 05 Jul '11

05 Jul '11

In X.A.Submap, the keyboard is grabbed to handle the submapping. However, the keyboard is not released until *after* the action is executed. This creates the situation where any action which requires a keyboard grab (such as submap itself), cannot be submapped. I encountered this issue with WindowBringer where dmenu would fail to appear since it failed to grab the keyboard. A delay could be used, but this is just a race. Testing is probably needed; I've seen no issues so far and I'm a heavy user of submap (my modMask is essentially <Ctrl-i>). --Ben [1]http://git.benboeckel.net/?p=dotfiles.git;a=blob;f=dotfiles/base/X11/xmon… 1 patch for repository http://code.haskell.org/XMonadContrib: Sun May 15 17:03:12 EDT 2011 Ben Boeckel <mathstuf(a)gmail.com> * ungrab-keyboard-before-action If an action that requires the keyboard to be grabbed (e.g., launching dmenu), it is a race when submapping the action as to whether the action will have access to the keyboard or not. To fix this, the keyboard should be ungrabbed before executing the action.

I'm sure we all remember Bluetile, the user-friendly fork of Xmonad: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Bluetile Apparently there's now a fork of gnome-shell called 'shellshape' http://gfxmonk.net/shellshape/ : > ...is a gnome-shell extension that adds smart and user-friendly tiling window features to your gnome desktop, inspired by bluetile. -- gwern http://www.gwern.net

darcs patches for tiled hinted mplayer with fullscreen working
by Tomas Janousek 17 Jun '11

17 Jun '11

Dear xmonad, this is a patch bundle that makes MPlayer happy when not floating, including fullscreen support. This should fix #400. > 2 patches for repository http://code.haskell.org/XMonadContrib: > > Tue Jul 6 20:57:51 CEST 2010 Tomas Janousek <tomi(a)nomi.cz> > * X.H.EwmhDesktops: advertise fullscreen in _NET_SUPPORTED and handle it by default This is a bit questionable, I know. There must have been a reason why fullscreenEventHook isn't used by default, but I feel that it should be advertised only if it's used, so I did it this way. Should ewmh take a flag that can turn off fullscreen support? Is there a way to make the list of supported NETWM props easily extensible? > Tue Jul 6 20:59:25 CEST 2010 Tomas Janousek <tomi(a)nomi.cz> > * X.L.LayoutHints: event hook to refresh on hints change Without this patch, aspect ratio is respected only after a focus change or explicit refresh. That's annoying. -- Tomáš Janoušek, a.k.a. Liskni_si, http://work.lisk.in/
