Updates: Summary: xmonad doesn't warn when xmonad executable cannot be found Status: Accepted Labels: Usability Comment #6 on issue 126 by vogt.adam: xmonad doesn't warn when xmonad executable cannot be found http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=126 In #xmonad today, jeffwheeler had some trouble getting his config to reload. It seems like this problem could have been avoided by adding a bit of logic to the default config: Currently M-q is bound to: spawn "xmonad --recompile && xmonad --restart" This could instead be something like: spawn $ "which xmonad && { xmonad --recompile && xmonad --restart } || " ++ "xmessage xmonad not in \$PATH: \"$PATH\"" But maybe this logic should be implemented in haskell, or is the /bin/sh syntax used here going to work everywhere? -- 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] Issue 462 in xmonad: Ewmh desktop handle event doesn't correctly handle _NET_WM_DESKTOP message type

Comment #3 on 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 Hi, Thanks for the code sample. I tried it out but it didn't fix the issue I encountered. I played with the ewmhCopyWindow function and the following version sort of makes things better - diff -rN old-XMonadContrib/XMonad/Hooks/EwmhDesktops.hs new-XMonadContrib/XMonad/Hooks/EwmhDesktops.hs 34a35 > import XMonad.Actions.CopyWindow 54c55 < , handleEventHook = handleEventHook c +++ ewmhDesktopsEventHook --- > , handleEventHook = handleEventHook c +++ > ewmhDesktopsEventHook `mappend` ewmhCopyWindow 145a147,148 > {- else if n == 0xffffffff then > windows $ W.shiftWin (W.currentTag s) w -} 148a152 > trace $ "focus"++show w 157a162,176 > ewmhCopyWindow :: Event -> X All > ewmhCopyWindow ClientMessageEvent { > ev_window = w, > ev_message_type = mt, > ev_data = 0xffffffff : _ > } = withWindowSet $ \s -> do > a_d <- getAtom "_NET_WM_DESKTOP" > when (mt == a_d) $ do > sort' <- getSortByIndex > let ws = map W.tag $ sort' $ W.workspaces s > windows $ foldr (.) id (map (copyWindow w) ws) > trace $ show w > return (All True) > ewmhCopyWindow _ = return (All True) On further searching I think what I am really after are the changes that come in with http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=430. Now if only I can understand the code and make it work with my setup.

Releasing 1.0
by Gwern Branwen 21 Oct '11

21 Oct '11

I spent the other reading a PhD thesis about time-based releases: http://www.cyrius.com/publications/michlmayr-phd.html All the projects involved seemed to prefer time-based releases, and there was much criticism of releases simply being endlessly dragged out and end-users being hurt by the delays and unclear forecasts. Let us say I was more than a little reminded of Xmonad and #xmonad. The last major release of xmonad was back when George W. Bush was president. There are no outstanding patches in http://darcswatch.nomeata.de/repo_http:__code.haskell.org_XMonadContrib.html or http://darcswatch.nomeata.de/repo_http:__code.haskell.org_xmonad.html Since then, awesome has made something like 10 releases; even dwm has made releases. There are plenty of bugs left in Xmonad, but I doubt many will be squashed given another few months or years. Let's just make the 1.0 release already. -- gwern http://www.gwern.net

Try using <XF86TouchpadToggle> in additionalKeysP. 2. Compiles without error. 3. Press <XF86TouchpadToggle>. Nothing happens. There should either be an error saying the key isn't defined, or preferably, the key should be supported. The scancode for XF86TouchpadToggle is 199. Component-Contrib

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 372 by aditya.siram: Changes made to defaultConfig do not take on recompile and restart. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=372 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. change any defaultConfig setting, in my case change terminal = "gnome-termimal" to terminal = "xterm", recompile (xmonad --recompile) and restart(xmonad --restart) What is the expected output? What do you see instead? mod-shift-return should now pull up an xterm. Instead it still opens a gnome-terminal. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? 0.9.1, Ubuntu Karmic Are you using an xmonad.hs? Please attach it and the output of "xmonad --recompile". config file is attached. Recompile step has no output.

Issue 328 in xmonad: RunOrRaise and dbus(?)

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 328 by grapescan: RunOrRaise and dbus(?) http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=328 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Set some bindings like this: ("M-t", runOrRaise "transmission" (className =? "Transmission")) or ("M-w", runOrRaise "firefox" (className =? "Shiretoko")) 2. Try to run these programs with created shortcuts 3. Try to run these programs without created shortcuts (i.e. from terminal or gmrun) What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Starting from terminal or gmrun looks fine while using shortcuts causes strange behavior. Firefox complains about connecting to session: "/usr/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally without any error message". Transmission doesn't want to open torrents from Firefox (torrents opened with Transmission from web-browser). It says something like "Transmission is already started." What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? I use actual version of ArchLinux. I checked dbus packages - they seem to be OK. Packages xmonad-darcs and xmonad-contrib-darcs built a few weeks ago.

Issue 458 in xmonad: xmonad requires two restarts to apply new config

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 458 by hramr...(a)gmail.com: xmonad requires two restarts to apply new config http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=458 For some reason when I restart xmonad after editing the config xmonad comes up in the default config and applies the new config after another restart. This is 100% reproducible on one box and 100% unreproducible on the other two boxes, all running XMonad on Debian.

Re: Issue 322 in xmonad: Background shown when workspace switches

Comment #2 on issue 322 by sgsoftware: Background shown when workspace switches http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=322 I am not sure that this is strictly an X server problem since I've got similar behavior after upgrading xmonad from version 0.8.1 to version 0.9. Apparently something has changed in between and now xmonad draws background so that it is very noticeable (and quite annoying). In the previous version of xmonad switching between two full-screen windows was immediate and I could see no background. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 325 in xmonad: Layout.Spacing breaks Layout.WindowNavigation

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 325 by OrbisVicis: Layout.Spacing breaks Layout.WindowNavigation http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=325 Removing the spacing modifier in the layoutHook or setting "spacing 0" fixes the problem. Symptoms: While Go or Swap *might* initially work, they very quickly lock up and do nothing. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 373 in xmonad: Hlintify XMonad & XMonadContrib
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 10 Aug '11

10 Aug '11

Status: Accepted Owner: gwern0 Labels: Type-Enhancement Priority-Low Component-Contrib Maintainability Component-Core New issue 373 by gwern0: Hlintify XMonad & XMonadContrib http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=373 Hlint (http://community.haskell.org/~ndm/hlint/) is a code-style tool that flags verbose, useless, or otherwise bad bits of code. It would be good if XMC had clean code. (Hlint strives for 'correctness'; none of the changes ought to affect the semantics of the code.) XMonad-core generates roughly 31 suggestions and XMC roughly 468. Even excluding debatable suggestions like eta-reduction, this is a lot of small bad things. Fortunately, they are all generally very easy to fix and understand why the code was flagged, making this a good beginner project. Attached are the 2 HTML reports hlint generates (obviously 31+468 messages is a bit much to paste in).
