Issue 484 in xmonad: Use XDG Base Directory Specification

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 484 by cristikl...(a)gmail.com: Use XDG Base Directory Specification http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=484 Hello, Would it be possible to make xmonad respect the XDG Base Directory [1] specification? This would allow the user's home directory to be more organized and clearly separate configuration files, cache files and user data. For xmonad the following changes would be necessary: - move ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/xmonad/xmonad.hs - move other generated files (like xmonad.hi) to $XDG_CACHE_HOME/xmonad/ Thanks in advance, Cristian KLEIN.

Comment #5 on issue 168 by govnototalitarizm: gnome-panel with autohide enabled appears behind main windows http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=168 gwern0 do not work with latest xmonad. This issue is a major stopover for me to migrate to xmonad.

Issue 348 in xmonad: Encoding task force
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

Status: New Owner: ---- Labels: Type-Enhancement New issue 348 by SpencerJanssen: Encoding task force http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=348 xmonad is sloppy about strings and encoding. We should go through all of xmonad and make sure all code follows these guidelines: * All String ([Char]) values should be lists of Unicode code points, and should NOT be in UTF-8 or any other encoded form. * All input that creates String values should decoded from bytes in whatever encoding to a lists of code points (this means System.IO and proper locale settings in GHC 6.12, System.IO.UTF8 in older) * All output that takes String values should encode the code points to bytes in whatever encoding (again System.IO in 6.12, utf8-string otherwise) * All non-string data (lists of bytes, encoded strings, etc.) should be stored at types other than [Char] If anybody wants to spearhead this, feel free to come forward. Alternatively we could have maintainers self-certify their modules? -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 531 in xmonad: Multiple workspaces with the same name confuses XMonad
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 14 Jul '14

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 531 by erdnussb...(a)gmail.com: Multiple workspaces with the same name confuses XMonad http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=531 What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect that xmonad differs between workspaces even if they have the same name. The following describes the scenarios you run into when naming multiple workspaces identically. ------------------- Scenario 1: ------------------- How to produce: 1. Give some workspaces the same name. 2. Restart and recompile XMonad. What happens: The renamed workspaces are added uselessly to the beginng of the list. (see picture 1.png) ------------------- Scenario 2: ------------------- How to produce: 1. Start from scenario 1. 2. Restart X. What happens: XMonad shows all the workspaces separately but addresses them as one (see picture 2.png). Additional information: If you switch between two workspaces with the same name, xmonad loads the content again (you see it flicker) but the content is the same. ------------------- Scenario 3a: ------------------- How to produce: 1. Start from scenario 2. 2. Change one of the former identical workspace names to something unique. 3. Recompile and restart XMonad. What happens: XMonad displays mutliple times the unique name?! (see picture 3a.png) Additional information: From this point on, recompiling and restarting doesn't fix the corruption of the running XMonad session. ------------------- Scenario 3b: ------------------- How to produce: 1. Start from Scenario 3a 2. Restart X What happens: The multiple workspaces are shown again, still addresses as one, but the uniquely named workspace is displayed and addressed correctly. (see picture 3b.png) ------------------- Scenario 3c: ------------------- How to produce: 1. Start from Scenario 3b. 2. Change all workspace names to something unique again. 3. Recompile and Restart Xmonad. What happens: The doesn't have the intended effect, instead some workspace keys stop working and a random one is shown mutliple times. (see picture 3c.png) Restarting X fixes this issue. 4. Start with Scenario 1 again, it's fun (: ------------------- What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Linux ******* 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.35-2 x86_64 GNU/Linux (wheezy) xmonad 0.10 ------------------- Are you using an xmonad.hs? Please attach it and the output of "xmonad --recompile". Yes I'm using it, there are no compilation errors. ------------------- Please provide any additional information below. Dzen2 and Xmobar showed the same effects.

Issue 433 in xmonad: Alternative Implementation of WorkspaceDir
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 16 May '14

16 May '14

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 433 by que...(a)gmail.com: Alternative Implementation of WorkspaceDir http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=433 Hey, I just extracted an alternative implementation of WorkspaceDir from my configuration and was wondering what the opinion on this is. Could it go into contrib as alternative? Is it better or worse than the original? It's using ExtensibleState to map WorkspaceIds to directories. It also provides a method to execute action that get the current directory as parameter to access the information. There is no need to modify any layouts with this version. Regards, Jan Attachments: WorkspaceDir.hs 3.1 KB

Updates: Status: Invalid Comment #29 on issue 97 by byorgey: xmonad stops responding to keyboard input after running xscreensaver http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=97 I'm closing this since 1) it hasn't happened to me in a very long time 2) no one seems to have reported a similar problem for a year 3) it was never even clear whether this really was an xmonad problem---I suspect it wasn't. Feel free to reopen if you are having a similar issue and none of the solutions proposed in the comments work for you. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 413 in xmonad: Windows don't disappear
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 06 Mar '14

06 Mar '14

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 413 by srburnet: Windows don't disappear http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=413 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Open a window (e.g., a terminal, although it happens to all types of windows) 2. Do a bunch of other work with other windows. (This doesn't happen if you open and close a window immediately). 3. Close the original window. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? The window should disappear and the wallpaper should be shown. Instead, an artifact image of the window remains, although the window itself has definitely closed. I can't interact with the window and if open a new window xmonad behaves as if there is no additional window (the screen isn't split between the two windows). I can even drag a small window around in tiling mode over the image of the window and "erase" the closed window (i.e., the wallpaper is redrawn in areas touched by the window). I've attached a screenshot that hopefully makes sense. Note that the problem is very rare. There doesn't seem to be a pattern for which windows have the problem. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? xmonad darcs, on Arch Linux. I am using the NVIDIA proprietary drivers with dual monitors (Twinview). I am not using compositing. The problem has occured with multiple versions of xmonad, the kernel versions, and the NVIDIA driver. Are you using an xmonad.hs? Please attach it and the output of "xmonad --recompile". xmonad --recompile yields no output. Attachments: xmonad.hs 5.2 KB bug.png 741 KB

better combineTwoP and Property

I modified combineTwoP and Property. http://hpaste.org/45435/combinetwoqb New name is combineTwoQB Now windows use full screen space always!
