4 patches for repository http://code.haskell.org/xmonad: Thu Jun 7 15:16:32 CEST 2012 daniel.trstenjak(a)gmail.com * Separate source and build directories The source files are still located in '~/.xmonad' and the build files and the xmonad binary are now put into '~/.xmonad_build'. By separating the source and build directories it's easier and nicer to backup and synchronize the source files. Tue Jun 26 20:26:40 CEST 2012 daniel.trstenjak(a)gmail.com * Add getXMonadDir for backward compatibility Wed Jul 4 19:23:24 CEST 2012 daniel.trstenjak(a)gmail.com * Change build directory to '~/.cache/xmonad'. Wed Jul 4 19:24:37 CEST 2012 daniel.trstenjak(a)gmail.com * Add type signature for getXMonadDir

Issue 340 in xmonad: Error In Passing Clicks in Multi-Head non-Xinerama Setup
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 11 Aug '12

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 340 by llcawthorne: Error In Passing Clicks in Multi-Head non-Xinerama Setup http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=340 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Set 'Option "Xinerama" "0"' in xorg.conf in a multi-head non-xrandr setup. 2. Run xmonad on the primary display 3. Run another copy of xmonad, or another WM on the secondary display. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I should be able to re-enter a window managed by XMonad and click on things after leaving it. There are two different setups that respond slightly differently. 1) Xmonad on DISPLAY 0.0 and No WM on DISPLAY 0.1 (or Openbox). I can leave the XMonad display perfectly every time and click on things on the secondary display. The problem pops up when XMonad needs to re-accept control of the pointer. I come back to my main screen and clicks are not accepted by whatever window I entered into. Buttons highlight like I am over them; links get little boxes around them, but clicks do not register. The problem can be remedied by moving my mouse over any other window on the same display, and things "catch up". Ex: DISPLAY=0.0. I usually run Firefox, and three terminals. DISPLAY=0.1. I usually have Thunderbird open. If I go to Thunderbird, I never have any problem getting there (as long as I am not running XMonad on display 0.1 also). If I come back from thunderbird to Firefox (which is in the master tile), I cannot successfully click anything. If I move my mouse over to a terminal (with or without clicking on it) and then back to Firefox, I can click things fine. 2) Running xmonad on Display 0.0 and Display 0.1 Same as above, except I have problems moving to each display. Previous Example but: If I leave Display 0.0 and go to Thunderbird, I cannot click anything. Once again, messages shadow when the mouse is over them, as do buttons in Thunderbird. If I hit Mod+Shift+Return at this point, the terminal will open on Display 0.0, even though I am on Display 0.1 with my pointer. Now, if I move my pointer back to Display 0.0, I cannot click on Firefox and if I hit Mod+Shift+Return the terminal will open on Display 0.1 even though the mouse is on Display 0.0. Everything is back to normal if I mouse over a terminal and back to Firefox. (This was especially annoying until I figured out what was going on.. Now I run with a clock open on Display 0.1 so I have a second window to mouse over on the way to read my e-mail, because otherwise I had no way to make Thunderbird start receiving clicks). Things work the same with application other than Firefox/Thunderbird termimal in both examples, they are just what I tend to have open. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Xmonad 0.8 or Xmonad 0.9. Gentoo Linux or ArchLinux. Are you using an xmonad.hs? Please attach it and the output of "xmonad --recompile". Problem exists with default xmonad.hs or with a custom xmonad.hs (or with a randomly grabbed off the website xmonad.hs). Please provide any additional information below. I can set "Xinerama" "1" and there is no problem; I just don't particularly care for Xinerama. A) It turns off compositing. B) I cannot (at least don't know how to) launch apps to other screens from a prompt (ie 'DISPLAY=:0.2 mplayer -fs South.Park.S01312.avi'). Also, I generally use three monitors, but I can recreate the problem with the secondary card and tertiary monitor removed from my configuration, so it has not been mentioned here. (Things get even stranger when I try running xmonad on all three displays without Xinerama). If you need more info than my wordy description, I have a forum post on the ArchLinux boards and sent a message to the mailing list a bit back relating to this problem. (Note that the first few messages of the posting were before I figured out clearly what was happening). http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=83789 -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

XMonad-screenshot
by Dmitry Malikov 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

Hi. My friend Matvey Aksenov create some useful screen capturing utility for XMonad. https://github.com/supki/xmonad-screenshot It allows capturing all workspaces in single image. Also chosen workspaces could be filtered by some predicate. Result image could be filled with horizontal or vertical layout. Are there some other possible use cases for that utility? What are you expecting from the ideal screenshot module for XMonad? By the way, is there some another available screenshot utility specially for XMonad? -- Best regards, dmitry malikov !

Issue 488 in xmonad: new dmenu version breaks xmonad-contrib wrapper
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 23 Jul '12

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 488 by Longp...(a)gmail.com: new dmenu version breaks xmonad-contrib wrapper http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=488 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 title: new dmenu version breaks xmonad-contrib wrapper dmenu-4.4.1 appends a newline to the outputted string representing the selected item, breaking xmonad-contrib's dmenu wrapper, which expects no newline. I've attached a patch to fix this. It's backwards compatible with old versions of dmenu. I've only tested it directly with ``dmenuMap``. What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. run code: ``dmenuMap $ M.fromList [("k_x","v_x"),("k_y","v_y"),("k_z","v_z")]`` 2. choose "k_x" in the menu bar that pops up What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Return value should be ``Just "v_x"``. Actual value is ``Nothing``. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? reproduced on xmonad-contrib-0.10 and xmonad-contrib-0.9 with dmenu-4.4.1, worked with dmenu-4.2.1.

Space between terminal
by Pablo Olmos de Aguilera Corradini 19 Jul '12

19 Jul '12

Since some time (sadly I'm not sure when), I've started to see a little space (like 5 to 10 pixels) between the vim window and the terminal window[1]. I don't know where to start looking, can somebody point me where to start looking?

Issue 511 in xmonad: Ewmh should advertise _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN in the _NET_SUPPORTED list
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 16 Jul '12

16 Jul '12

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 511 by jleedev: Ewmh should advertise _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN in the _NET_SUPPORTED list http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=511 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Use ewmh config 2. Use gnome-terminal 3. Attempt to go full screen What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Gnome-terminal doesn't enable the full screen command unless the window manager advertises such support. The setSupported function in XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops should be extended to support this. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? 0.10-3 on Ubuntu 12.04 Are you using an xmonad.hs? Please attach it and the output of "xmonad --recompile". This can be reproduced with the standard `xmonad gnomeConfig`. Please provide any additional information below.

doFullFloat keybinding?
by 1126 15 Jul '12

15 Jul '12

Hello List! I have a WS devoted to reading PDFs and alike and in my manageHook config stands the following: , className =? "Evince" --> doFullFloat This is, because I like my two xmobars (top and bottom) to disappear, when reading a paper such things. But: When evince is FullFloating I got problems when opening more than one instance of it, like a second paper. It just lets the first one disappear under the freshly opened one. What I would like to have is a keybinding to switch FullFloating on and off. Is this possible and if so, how? (By the way: another solution - maybe even a better one - would be to tell xmonad that if I hit F11 (go fullscreen) in evince, that this windows should be above the xmobars and should take the whole screen. Like VLC does.) I couldn't find anything about it, I'm sorry for the noise if I just sucked at Google-ing ;) Thank you!
