Getting xmonad working with GNOME 3.8?
by William Ting 23 Feb '14

23 Feb '14

Hi, I've been using xmonad in GNOME 3.2 / 3.4 / 3.6 in fallback mode just fine, but the latest upgrade to GNOME 3.8 on Arch has rendered xmonad unusable. Does anybody know how to get xmonad working on GNOME again? Thanks, William

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! (It was bug in combineTwoP, when all windows are in one pane only) Now you can use IsDialog property to detect dialog windows.

Issue 552 in xmonad: Prompt.Workspace wrong completion
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 25 Dec '13

25 Dec '13

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 552 by fistonbe...(a)gmail.com: Prompt.Workspace wrong completion http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=552 This happens with workspaces with names containing spaces and is related to the default implementation for nextCompletion and commandToComplete (class XPrompt) which shouldn't be used here. 1. type the name of a workspace which contains spaces on a workspace prompt; 2. hit tab; 3. workspaces whose name start with the last word on prompt are shown. The whole prompt should be used for completion. I made a patch long ago but didn't find a way to send it. It is attached. I don't think XMonad will ever prompt for a list of workspace names separated by spaces.

Issue 533 in xmonad: clearUrgency should be exported from XMonad.Hooks.UrgencyHook

It was not possible to do so without making my own Urgency Hook, which was fine, except that in order to make it I had no choice but to modify the source and add clearUrgency to the export list.

additionalKeys: do two tasks?
by Aleksandr Miroslav 27 Aug '13

27 Aug '13

hello, I have this in my xmonad rc: `additionalKeys` [ ((mod4Mask, xK_z), spawn "/usr/local/bin/xscreensaver-command -lock") ] that locks the screen with my meta-z and works fine. But I now want to switch to workspace 1 before I lock the screen, no matter what workspace I am in. How can I get additionalKeys to do this compount command? thanks, Alex

virt-manager guest view and xmonad
by Thomas Koch 20 Aug '13

20 Aug '13

Hi, I'm running xmonad as wm for gnome3 on Debian stable and a virtualized Debian unstable also with gnome3 and xmonad. I view the guest with the viewer integrated in virt-manager (spice). mod-buttonN work on the viewer instead of being propageted to the guest and effecting the client window running in the guest. mod-[1-9] for example work inside the guest and switch workplaces inside the guest. But I want to modify windows inside the guest. Do you have any hint for me? I have modMask = mod4Mask, so my mod key is the windows key. Regards, Thomas Koch
