xinerama and per-screen automatic layout modification
by Steffen Schuldenzucker 20 Nov '14

20 Nov '14

Hi, I'm using xmonad with two equally-sized screens the left one of which I sometimes turn into pivot mode (rotate 90°) to read articles. Now 'Tall' isn't great on a portrait monitor, so I'm looking for a layout modifier that acts as follows: * If on the right monitor: No modification * If on the left monitor: o If in pivot mode, apply the Mirror layout modifier. o Otherwise, apply the Reflect layout modifier. (because I like my master windows in the center) Has anybody worked on something like this before? If not, I'd try to write a contrib module, probably re-using some code from Actions.PhysicalScreens. Any pointers / pitfalls to be expected? kthx. Best, Steffen

darcs patch: needs update for mplayer2
by Joachim Breitner 19 Nov '14

1 patch for repository http://code.haskell.org/xmonad: Thu Jul 3 07:43:59 CEST 2014 Joey Hess <joeyh(a)debian.org> * needs update for mplayer2 xmonad floats mplayer by default. However, Debian has switched to mplayer2, and so on upgrade, it will stop floating. This can be easily fixed in the user's config file, but here is a patch that avoids bothering the user with breakage on upgrade.

Startup Arguments
by Chris Bell 18 Nov '14

18 Nov '14

Hi, I run Xmonad on my laptop, where I sometimes have multiple displays (when I'm at my desk). As a result, I have two Xmonad configs - one for a single screen, and one for two screens, which spawns extra copies of some programs (xmobar, for example). However, to keep everything playing nice, I have to manually swap out the config each time I switch my monitor setup by editing my xmonad.hs. I tried adding code to use xrandr to detect how many screens are active, and execute the function accordingly, but this just caused my X session to break. My xinitrc script knows how many monitors are active, but I don't know how to pass that to Xmonad on startup. Is there a facility to pass arguments to Xmonad at startup from xinitrc? Or did I simply miss something in the documentation? Thanks!

Issue 580 in xmonad: WIndows using OpenGL don't resize properly when partially offscreen
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 06 Nov '14

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 580 by StevensE...(a)gmail.com: WIndows using OpenGL don't resize properly when partially offscreen https://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=580 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Start a program that uses OpenGL such as glxgears 2. Drag the program window partially off the top of the screen 3. Resize the window to be longer vertically What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect to see the window expand to fill the new space. Instead I see a blank black space in that area (for glxgears, for my own personal program at https://gitorious.org/linted/linted I see old and stale data from what was last drawn there by other programs.) What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? $ xmonad --version xmonad 0.11 $ uname -a Linux proteus 3.17.2-gnu #1 SMP Thu Oct 30 19:27:36 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I'm using Trisquel 7 from trisquel.info and the Linux-Libre kernel from http://www.fsfla.org/ikiwiki/selibre/linux-libre/ Are you using an xmonad.hs? Please attach it and the output of "xmonad --recompile". xmonad --recompile gives no errors or warnings. My xmonad.hs is attached. Please provide any additional information below.

Issue 484 in xmonad: Use XDG Base Directory Specification
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

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.

I just posted my documentation on extending Layout's: http://buff.ly/1CsrZsz Again, if someone who can edit the wiki wants to add this, they should feel free to do so. Or if they'd rather I do, let me know where to get an account and I'll do it when I find the time.

Fwd: Integration with Gnome 3
by Alexandre Medeiros 18 Oct '14

18 Oct '14

Hello guys, Firstly, I know my problem is mostly related with Gnome, but I know it is more likely that one of you can help me. I'm trying to run Xmonad with Gnome 3.14 on my Arch system. I tried following both the ArchWiki[1] and the XmonadWiki[2] with no success. What I get is when I launch the session, the gnome-session breaks and I get a message "Somethings has gone really wrong" and my only option is to logout. If anyone has a solution for this or can point me in the right direction, I would be really grateful. Cheers, [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xmonad#GNOME_3_and_xmonad [2] http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Using_xmonad_in_Gnome#Gnome3 -- Alexandre Medeiros Institute of Computing - University of Campinas BSc Computer Science Student GNU/Linux user #562691 http://alemedeiros.sdf.org/

Patch to add configurable working directory
by Oliver Dunkl 16 Oct '14

16 Oct '14

For using xmonad for developing I have add some improvements to the function `getXMonadDir'. With that patch you can select the working-directory from where xmonad reads its configuration file (xmonad.hs). It reads the environment variable XMONAD_WORKING_DIR_NAME and if it is set the working-directory ist set to this directory name. If it is not set it works as before that means the working directory is $HOME/.xmonad. An example of using the environment variable: $ export XMONAD_WORKING_DIR_NAME=xmonad-test && xmonad means that xmonad try to start xmonad with the configuration file in the directory $HOME/.xmonad-test -> $HOME/.xmonad-test/xmonad.hs is the configuration file. In my case I start Xephyr with $ Xephyr :1 and after that I start xmonad with a different working directory $ DISPLAY=:1 && export XMONAD_WORKING_DIR_NAME=xmonad-test && xmonad br \= odi -- Oliver Dunkl WEB: http://github.com/odi IM: odi(a)jabber.ccc.de IRC: odi(irc.freenode.net)
