Profiling XMonad
by Alejandro Serrano Mena 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

Hello, I'm trying to allow RGB images as buttons in XMonad. It's alreasy working, but now XMonad leaks a lot of memory (each time you change focus about 1 or 2 megabytes are taken from memory), so when a little time passes, it becomes unusable. I'd like to ask for help profiling or with any other thing that may help me solve this problem. As of now, I'm saving the images as String. Then, using Foreign.C.String.newCAString, I convert it to a CString, which is what Xlib expects. After that, I create a Image using XCreateImage, which I paint using XPutImage. Finally, I call XDestroyImage to free the memory. So, as far as I know, no leak should be possible :( Thanks in advance.

Bluetile backport
by Jan Vornberger 14 Jun '10

14 Jun '10

Hi there! Just wanted to quickly let you know: With the fair number of outstanding patches and a possible repository migration still to do, it seems like a next xmonad release is still a little bit in the future. So I worked on a temporary solution for the meantime and managed to backport Bluetile to work with the xmonad release 0.9.1. So this makes packaging possible/much easier now and Joachim actually already created a package for Debian. I'm excited to see how this can help the Bluetile effort. Thx Joachim! :-) Regards, Jan

Problem with popup menus in java application
by Csomay Mihaly 12 Jun '10

12 Jun '10

Hi, I switched to xmonad, but since then I can't access the menus in JDownloader. The symptoms: I click on the File menu (or right click on a package to bring up the context menu), the menu appears, but as soon as I release the mouse button, the menu disappears, so I can't select anything. If I hold down the mouse button, and use the arrow keys + Enter, it works, but that's rather cumbersome. I already tried _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1 with OpenJDK and startupHook = setWMName "LG3D" with the Sun JRE. Any tips to solve this? Thanks.

Segmentation fault when accidentally decorating a tabbed layout
by Weeble 10 Jun '10

10 Jun '10

I'm using MultiToggle so that I can press WIN+D to toggle on window decorations when I need to tell similar windows apart. However, I've found that this causes a segmentation fault whenever I use it on a tabbed layout. I assume this is because it's already decorated? I know it may not make much sense to decorate it twice, but I don't think it should segfault when I do this. I've tried to get updated versions from darcs, but I don't really understand how all the dependencies work, so I probably did something wrong. I'm running Ubuntu and I believe I installed GHC using apt-get. I can't remember how I originally installed Cabal, but I did "cabal install X11" and so on to install the dependencies listed in the readme. I synced up xmonad and XMonadContrib from darcs today and rebuilt them and installed them using the "--user" option. The crashes still happen. What should I do next? In terms of experience my Haskell is pretty limited, and my knowledge of package management in Haskell is next to zero. I know my way around a command-line so I hope I'll be able to follow any instructions without too much trouble, but I might need things spelled out for me, particularly if it involves editing (or explaining!) my xmonad.hs file. My xmonad.hs file is attached.

Manual tiling layout
by Nathan Huesken 09 Jun '10

09 Jun '10

Hi, Is it possible to create (possible with layout modifiers that divide the current layout) a manual tiling layout similar to musca? By this I mean, that I can decide per keypress to divide the space of the current window, change its size and merge it with another window? I really like the musca tiling algorithm, but I also like xmonads many features ... Regards, Nathan

Importing Stackset qualified
by Gwern Branwen 09 Jun '10

09 Jun '10

I noticed yesterday in my config, 'import qualified XMonad.StackSet as W', and I wondered - why do we do that? Is there some rationale behind it or is it just tradition? I ask because if the former, then there are quite a few modules in XMC which don't import it as W, or as anything at all; a quick grep: Actions/DwmPromote.hs:import XMonad.StackSet Actions/OnScreen.hs:import XMonad.StackSet hiding (new) Actions/Plane.hs:import XMonad.StackSet hiding (workspaces) Actions/CycleSelectedLayouts.hs:import qualified XMonad.StackSet as S Actions/UpdatePointer.hs:import XMonad.StackSet (member, peek, screenDetail, current) Actions/RotSlaves.hs:import XMonad.StackSet Actions/MessageFeedback.hs:import XMonad.StackSet ( current, workspace, layout, tag ) Actions/Commands.hs:import XMonad.StackSet hiding (workspaces) Actions/Promote.hs:import XMonad.StackSet Actions/FocusNth.hs:import XMonad.StackSet Doc/Extending.hs:Remember to import the module that defines the 'XMonad.StackSet.shift' Hooks/Place.hs:import qualified XMonad.StackSet as S Hooks/DynamicLog.hs:import qualified XMonad.StackSet as S Layout/Cross.hs:import XMonad.StackSet( focus, up, down ) Layout/Spiral.hs:import XMonad.StackSet ( integrate ) Layout/Grid.hs:import XMonad.StackSet Layout/Dishes.hs:import XMonad.StackSet (integrate) Layout/SimplestFloat.hs:import qualified XMonad.StackSet as S Layout/Maximize.hs:import qualified XMonad.StackSet as S Layout/Magnifier.hs:import XMonad.StackSet Layout/IndependentScreens.hs:import XMonad.StackSet hiding (filter, workspaces) Layout/Simplest.hs:import qualified XMonad.StackSet as S Layout/Circle.hs:import XMonad.StackSet (integrate, peek) Layout/PositionStoreFloat.hs:import qualified XMonad.StackSet as S Layout/HintedGrid.hs:import XMonad.StackSet Layout/Master.hs:import qualified XMonad.StackSet as S Layout/TwoPane.hs:import XMonad.StackSet ( focus, up, down) Layout/Square.hs:import XMonad.StackSet ( integrate ) Layout/TabBarDecoration.hs:import qualified XMonad.StackSet as S Layout/IM.hs:import qualified XMonad.StackSet as S Layout/SimpleFloat.hs:import qualified XMonad.StackSet as S Layout/DwmStyle.hs:import XMonad.StackSet ( Stack (..) ) Layout/Tabbed.hs:import qualified XMonad.StackSet as S Layout/Drawer.hs:import XMonad.StackSet as S Prompt/Layout.hs:import XMonad.StackSet ( workspaces, layout ) Util/Dzen.hs:import XMonad.StackSet If the former, then several of these need to be fixed or changed, I think. -- gwern

Hi, I am trying to run a conig file from the xmonad homepage. I get the Error: Could not find module `XMonad.Util.ExtensibleState' googling tells me that the modules should be available in xmonad-contrib 0.9.1 I am on gentoo linux and have xmonad 0.9.1 and xmonad-contrib 0.9.1 Any Ideas? Thanks! Nathan
