xmonad hides xfce4-panel
by Damian Philipp 07 Aug '14

Hello xmonad experts, I am trying to set up xmonad (0.11 from Ubuntu repository) as a WM for xfce on a fresh install of Lubuntu 14.04. I configured xmonad.hs as instructed on the Wiki page (The file is so short, I included it inline at the end of this mail). When I start xfce using xfwm4 and then run "xmonad --replace" from a terminal, I practically arrive at my dream desktop. However, when I configure xfce to autostart xmonad, I can briefly see the xfce4 panel flash up and then immediately disappear. xmonad just leaves an empty space where the panel is supposed to be. mod-b toggles the empty space but does not show the panel. The default configuraiton of Lubuntu is to have a single panel at the top of the screen. I can revive the panel by briefly running xfwm4: $ killall xmonad-x86_64-linux $ xfwm4 $ xmonad --replace But that is not really a permanent solution. I looked through the archives, but all I cloud find was posts relating to the interaction of the panel workspace indicator and xmonad workspaces, nothing about the panel going AWOL. What do I have to do to make both the panel show up and run xmonad as my default WM to xfce? Regards, Damian Philipp My xmonad.hs: > import XMonad > import XMonad.Config.Xfce > > main = xmonad xfceConfig > { modMask = mod4Mask > , terminal = "xfce4-terminal" }

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

** tested version ** 1 patch for repository http://code.haskell.org/XMonadContrib: Sat Aug 2 22:06:01 EDT 2014 allbery.b(a)gmail.com * debug-managehook A set of hooks, and convenience combinators, to help with ManageHook debugging. Ordinary users may well want to use debugManageHookOn in normal configs, specifying a key sequence which can be pressed before running a command in order to capture debug information just for that command's main window. This is especially useful when trying to diagnose issues such as programs that do not play well with SpawnOn, or ManageHook matching on 'title' when the program does not set the window title until after it is mapped.
