[patch] XFCE Terminal is now xfce4-terminal
by Jens Petersen 25 Nov '13

Hi, Here is a small patch to update XMonad.Config.Xfce to use "xfce4-terminal" instead of "Terminal" which I gather is obsolete since xfce4-terminal-0.6.0. Thanks, Jens

It's not clear that it's fixable, because the only way to do this in X11 is to simulate keystrokes. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b(a)gmail.com ballbery(a)sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net

2 bugs in pasteSelection (7s for /s on german keyboard, whitespaces lost)
by Carlos Franke 17 Nov '13

17 Nov '13

Preliminaries: – I have tried to post the following issue without being subscribed to the mailing list a few days ago, but according to the archive, it did not get through. While I am now a subscriber, I still probably won't follow the discussion on the list (sorry), so if you you want to make sure that a certain message reaches me, CC it to my personal address. – I would have used the bug tracker for this, but I do not have a Google account. Sorry again, if this is inconvenient. I noticed two misbehaviours of pasteSelection (from Xmonad.Util.Paste): 1. In my setup, most notably with a standard German (QWERTZ) keyboard layout, pasteSelection converts slashes ("/") to sevens ("7"), thus messing up URLs and path names. With a QWERTZ keyboard, you get a slash by pressing Shift-7, so this is probably connected. 2. Whitespaces (space, tab, newline) are lost when pasting with pasteSelection. About my setup: I am calling pasteSelection by keystroke, configured like this in my xmonad.hs: `additionalKeysP` [ ("M-p", spawn "dmenu_run") , ("M-f", sendMessage ToggleStruts) , ("M-v", pasteSelection) ] I am running Xmonad 0.11-7 and Xmonad-contrib 0.11.2-2 on Arch Linux. pasteSelection is a great tool and I would love to see the above issues fixed. If I can help with that (testing?), please let me know. Carlos

[PATCH] XMonad: Use window border width instead of borderWidth
by Radim Krcmar 13 Nov '13

13 Nov '13

I have sent it before, but it did not show up on the mailing list; maybe because I was not subscribed then ... 1 patch for repository http://code.haskell.org/xmonad: Tue Nov 12 00:25:51 CET 2013 Radim Krcmar <radimkrcmar(a)hpx.cz> * Use window border width instead of borderWidth configureWindow border width of floating windows is set to borderWidth regardless of the actual value. This produces an interesting effect when borderWidth < "window border set from layout", where window is repeatedly shrinked, because border makes it bigger than it should be. This patch should not be noticeable unless layout is setting border to different values than borderWidth (we already set border to borderWidth when enslaving the window) or third person is setting up window attributes. (then it is a good thing to leave them that way) Setting border width to 0 is required for sane fullscreen mplayer, because it decides to expand by the border width. (pretty bad behaviour) New patches: [Use window border width instead of borderWidth Radim Krcmar <radimkrcmar(a)hpx.cz>**20131111232551 Ignore-this: ffbaf5f6c085ee13a7b6338863a9693c configureWindow border width of floating windows is set to borderWidth regardless of the actual value.

The name of the patch (and comment below) are copied verbatim from his patch. XKeysymToKeycode only gives the first code bound to a given symbol. To handle the case where multiple keys are bound to the same symbol, XKeycodeToKeysym is used instead, searching through all possible keycodes for each sym. ] [Issue 135 use wa_border_width for floating windows (neoraider) Adam Vogt <vogt.adam(a)gmail.com>**20130115170715 Ignore-this: c8ed6ceaf9483e31771ac25d86532f6c ] [Add flags for call to ghc closing issue 240 Adam Vogt <vogt.adam(a)gmail.com>**20130101035034 Ignore-this: 42a6a8599b615884c95626f74e3ba4a The -main-is flag goes back to at least ghc 6.10, and maybe the warning that this otherwise redundant flag enables (when xmonad.hs isn't a module Main) also dates back that far. ] [TAG 0.11 actual upload Adam Vogt <vogt.adam(a)gmail.com>**20130101014128 Ignore-this: 2c2a85caeed30cd23f02a7caf229fe7d ] Patch bundle hash: 90a0f22fb90471396fd95bb677d45da8ef116602
