Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 558 by govnotot...(a)gmail.com: add xmir support http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=558 Although XMir is still under active development I think it would be beneficial to have a place to track xmonad port to xmir - provided there are developers interested in such an attempt. -- You received this message because this project is configured to send all issue notifications to this address.

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.

Hi all, Attached is a patch that adds side tabs to XMonad.Layout.Tabbed. It's a relatively simple change and I've added documentation for the newly added functions, keeping the same format as the equivalent functions already present in the file. Thanks, Arjun

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

Comment #11 on issue 200 by wapcaplet88: xmonad spins in a tight loop changing focus back and forth http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=200 Same issue here, on Gentoo with xmonad-0.9 and openoffice-bin-3.2.0. Adding 'export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen' to ~/.xsession worked a treat!

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

New module for xmonad-contrib: SpawnNamedPipe
by Christian Wills 17 Feb '14

17 Feb '14

Hello Xmonad devs, Attached is a simple module that allows you to spawn a pipe and store it in the xmonad state as a String, Handle pair so that it can be accessed from a different hook from where the pipe was initially created. The initial motivation for this was I wanted to be able to spawn dzen from inside the startupHook and write to the pipe from inside the logHook. I didn't like being forced to start the dzen pipe up in a global namespace so that I could access it from the logHook. This example is detailed in the Haddocks but there are many other use cases. Cheers, Chris Wills

Xmonad + KDE4: a possible bug?
by scolfield 15 Feb '14

15 Feb '14

Hi, I've recently installed the newest KDE4 version on my Gentoo and I configured Xmonad according to http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Using_xmonad_in_KDE. There is an strange behaviour. Actually, the xmonad doens't run when KDE starts and any error is reported. KDE starts normally but the window tilling feature of Xmonad doesn't. My .xinitrc contains a single line with "exec startkde" command. And, my /etc/conf.d/xdm file contains "DISPLAYMANAGER=kdm". Moreover, i created and edited set_window_manager.sh file with "export KDEWM=/usr/bin" in ~/.kde4/env directory. I checked and the xmonad is, in fact, in /usr/bindirectory. I also mention that, I've alread installed following the same tutorial from the link above on my old computer once. And that time, everything went well. No issues. I've been wondering if I'm missing some configuration. Could you please tell me what's happening? Best regards, Scolfield .
