xinerama and workspaces

Hello, I have tried both greedy and non greedy workspace switching. Neither is to my taste. Has anyone found a way to bind workspaces to monitors? I would like to have workspaces 1-4 on monitor 1 and 5-8 on monitor 2. So that if I press mod-1 I would switch focus to monitor 1 and monitor 1 would switch to workspace 1. And then if I pressed mod-6 focus would switch to monitor 2 (leaving monitor 1 at workspace 1) and then monitor 2 would switch to workspace 6. Thank you for your time, Timothy

Is XMonad still developed or with a current maintainer?
by Alfredo Di Napoli 06 Nov '12

Crossposted from Haskell cafè: Hi guys, looking at the Darcs repo it seems that something is happening, but XMonad wasn't updated in a year on Hackage and everything seems to be still. Is XMonad still actively developed? If yes, who is the current maintainer? It would be good to have him listed in the Hackage package description, to be able to contact him. Cheers, A.

Dear Creators/Users of the most amazing window manager in all of cyberspace, I was running the xmonad & xmonad contrib from the ubuntu repos but java Charles web debugging proxy gave me gray screens. http://www.charlesproxy.com/ In order to run Java apps, I downloaded and patched XMonad 10.1 http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=177#makechanges I put the new compiled xmonad in my ~/.cabal/bin folder and linked /usr/bin/xmonad to ~/.cabal/bin/xmonad Without restarting X11, I did xmonad --recompile and still see grey screens when starting Java apps. I have Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit with sun java 1.7.0_09. I'm using Gnome3 with XMonad inside. my xmonad.hs is here http://pastebin.com/tgEBpEui my ghc-pkg list is here http://pastebin.com/wg6L8vdA I tried adding import XMonad.Hooks.ICCCMFocus to my xmonad.hs but that caused errors. I have the right xmonad version: ➜ .xmonad xmonad --version xmonad 0.10.1 I have cat named chloe: https://www.facebook.com/catnamedchloe ghc-pkg check doesn't seem to be erroring: http://pastebin.com/mRhjnYcf Is there something else I should try? Thank you for your time. -Sean http://seanneilan.com/

Float dialogs over their parent windows?
by Jeff Johnson 02 Nov '12

Is there a way to make floating dialogs appear centered over their "parent" window? Or failing that, just above the currently focused one? It's kind of jarring when you open a dialog and it shows up somewhere else on screen, or even in another workspace. Thanks Jeff
