Re: Issue 242 in xmonad: inter screen handling doesn't work with xrandr --right-of, works with --left-of

Comment #1 on issue 242 by nwfilardo: inter screen handling doesn't work with xrandr --right-of, works with --left-of http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=242 At least on my ThinkPad X200, the problem is that the LVDS output is not by default the primary display. It appears that the particular xinerama calls xmonad makes do not enumerate displays in left-to-right order but in some other order (as might be obvious, I'm not an expert at X11). Try running "xrandr --output LVDS --primary"; then -w should be the LVDS panel and -e should be the VGA output.

Updates: Status: Patch Owner: SpencerJanssen Comment #3 on issue 240 by vogt.adam: recompilation fails silently http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=240 Attached is a patch to accomplish the same indirectly by checking that the target executable is actually updated. But given that we have enough trouble to include the code for popping up an xmessage to welcome new users, then this patch might not be worth including since it addresses a rarer issue with somewhat more code.

Re: [xmonad] Issue 225 in xmonad: Allow single click to focus and pass click to window

Updates: Summary: Allow single click to focus and pass click to window Comment #8 on issue 225 by wirtwo...(a)gmail.com: Allow single click to focus and pass click to window http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=225 cirwin on #xmonad reports that manually merging the code in the referenced patch with current darcs enables one click to focus and pass the event to the window. An updated patch that applies cleanly to current darcs X.Main and X.Operations would be welcome. Updating title to remove "synthetic events" since they are not relevant here.

Comment #1 on issue 211 by byorgey: Error output inconsistency http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=211 Status? This seems like a pretty simple change, do other developers have an opinion on this? -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 360 in xmonad: shellPromptHere from XMonad.Actions.SpawnOn freezes upon files with Chinese names
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 15 Dec '12

15 Dec '12

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 360 by wei.hoo: shellPromptHere from XMonad.Actions.SpawnOn freezes upon files with Chinese names http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=360 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Bind a key combination to shellPromptHere 2. mkdir /tmp/new; cd /tmp/new 3. touch 1; touch 测试 4. Invoke shellPromptHere, type in "emacs /tmp/new/", press TAB What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Observe that the shell prompt window freezes. No keybindings are accepted, such as C-a, C-e, C-g. However, XMonad keybindings are still effective. At this point we have to press M-q to restart XMonad. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? xmonad-darcs and xmona-contrib-darcs on Arch Linux. GHC-6.12. Are you using an xmonad.hs? Please attach it and the output of "xmonad --recompile". Please provide any additional information below. If we remove /tmp/new/1 and only keep /tmp/new/测试, typing "emacs /tmp/new/ [TAB]" doesn't freeze the shell prompt. The Chinese-named file isn't shown in the completion, but we can still press C-g to cancel the shell prompt. The font I'm using does support Chinese. PS: I kind of remember this wasn't a problem with ghc-6.10, but I'm not sure.

Comment #24 on issue 177 by vogt.adam: xmonad does not follow ICCCM and ignores WM_TAKE_FOCUS protocol http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=177 Geoff Reedy's last patch doesn't apply cleanly against latest darcs (due to the merging of extensible state stuff).

Re: Issue 4 in xmonad: Separate focus for tiled and floating layers

Comment #34 on issue 4 by vogt.adam: Separate focus for tiled and floating layers http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=4 I see how TrackFloating is still unsatisfactory. Perhaps xmonad (and the modified layout) focus should be modified only when focus goes to tiled due to a window disappearing, and for crossing events: (CrossingEvent {ev_window=w, ev_event_type=t, ev_mode=m}) | t == enterNotify, m == notifyNormal = Modifying xmonad focus from a layout is tricky, since it's difficult to know that infinite loops of refreshing can not occur. Splitting it up as layout and eventHook may be simpler.

lockup when starting gvim in terminal
by Anthony Campbell 16 Sep '12

16 Sep '12

If I start gvim (GUI version of vim) in a terminal I get an error message and gvim locks up. The message is: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- E852: The child process failed to start the GUI[xcb] Unknown sequence number while processing queue [xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has not been called [xcb] Aborting, sorry about that. gvim: ../../src/xcb_io.c:273: poll_for_event: Assertion `!xcb_xlib_threads_sequence_lost' failed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I can prevent it from happening, either by starting gvim with dmenu or by doing "gvim &" in a terminal. I think gvim normally starts as a child process from a terminal. Is this a bug? Any way of preventing the error apart from those I've mentioned/ -- Anthony Campbell - ac(a)acampbell.org.uk Microsoft-free zone - Using Debian GNU/Linux http://www.acampbell.org.uk - sample my ebooks at http://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/acampbell
