darcs patch: Search.hs: haddock fmt (and 5 more)
by gwern0＠gmail.com 16 Mar '08

16 Mar '08

Sun Mar 16 17:39:14 EDT 2008 gwern0(a)gmail.com * Search.hs: haddock fmt This removes whitespace in source code snippets. Because Haddock renders quoted source code as monospaced unwrappable text, the excess whitespace meant you would have to scroll horizontally, unpleasantly. Sun Mar 16 17:56:42 EDT 2008 gwern0(a)gmail.com * improve the formatting for WindowGo.hs Sun Mar 16 17:57:28 EDT 2008 gwern0(a)gmail.com * Search.hs: try to add a more descriptive type Sun Mar 16 18:20:50 EDT 2008 gwern0(a)gmail.com * XSelection.hs: improved haddockf formatting, more links, & cpedit Sun Mar 16 18:32:19 EDT 2008 gwern0(a)gmail.com * Run.hs: improve haddock This module too was causing horizontal scrolling because of the shell command. I managed to discover that you only need to specify 'png:' *or* "foo.png", not both, which trimmed off enough characters. Also, I improved the docs for my functions. Sun Mar 16 18:39:46 EDT 2008 gwern0(a)gmail.com * WindowGo.hs: improve description I'm still not sure whether the description makes sense if you don't already understand the idea.

Another nice review
by Don Stewart 16 Mar '08

16 Mar '08

Will Farrington's written a nice review of xmonad too, http://dev.compiz-fusion.org/~wfarr/viewpost?id=5 "Besides the plethora of sample configuration files provided on the Xmonad wiki, the modules are perhaps the best bit of documentation I've seen in any code, ever. " Great work by the documentation team! -- Don

A new module seems overkill, the name DwmPromote doesn’t > apply to it, and renaming DwmPromote.hs to Promote.hs would > break peoples’ setups. Hm. I put this in my local config - by I think this is something that should be in XMonadContrib. I don't know about the xmonad development policy about backwards compatibility, but it sounds more 'clean' to me just to rename DwmPromote to Promote and add a new 'cyclePromote' or 'pushPromote' (wheee, finding a good name is sometimes not easy :-((). What is the 'normal' process in such a case? Make it clean and break configs? Or better add another module? - john

darcs patch: EwmhDesktops: advertise support for _NET_CLIENT_LIST_S...
by Alec Berryman 15 Mar '08

15 Mar '08

I was playing around with getting xpra working today. It dies with an assertion error "this program requires an EWMH-compliant window manager" because it checks that the window manager supports _NET_CLIENT_LIST_STACKING. EwmhDesktops does but doesn't advertise so. Sat Mar 15 17:26:31 EDT 2008 Alec Berryman <alec(a)thened.net> * EwmhDesktops: advertise support for _NET_CLIENT_LIST_STACKING

Issue 156 in xmonad: Opera: multiple windows closed together
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 15 Mar '08

Issue 156: Opera: multiple windows closed together http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=156 New issue report by netprobe: What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Start the opera browser (mod-p opera) 2. Click File -> New Window in opera (or Ctrl+N) 3. Close the new window by File -> Exit in it What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect only the new window to quit, instead both windows are being closed. Killing the windows with mod-shift-c works correctly as expected. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Latest XMonad from darcs repository without contribution extensions. Please provide any additional information below. I don't know if it's a Opera bug as using other Windows managers I would use the X on the title bar.

Newbie: Problems with Layouts and Syntax
by john spencer 15 Mar '08

15 Mar '08

Hi! After having some contact with xmonad 0.4 (and dismissing it for some reasons) I thought it's time to have a look at it again. And ... wow! :-)) Maybe it's now time to change - if I can get some things right. I'm currently a user of larswm; I configured it to have one large main (master) area and all the other windows of the current workspace stacked on the right site. With that configuration I am very fast selecting the window I want and making it the 'master'. I never work in one of the windows on the right site (you could also work in fullscreen mode -I hear you say- but for me its much more convenient to know in ONE look how many times I have to hit the 'next window' key than checking it every time I switch fullscreen); this means that these windows are never resized (just once when they are created at the main area). Long speech - short sense: I need a fast possibility to select the window I am interested in. As I can see, I have several possibilities with xmonad: 1. I could use the Hinted Tile Layout. As far as I understood, this layout shouldn't resize the windows when they are put out of the master. This would be the same configuration as I use currently with larswm. The problem is, it doesn't work always. Some apps (ie. aterm, konsole) seem to get resized which results in a nearly blank window when getting them back to the master. I don't know why the behaviour in larswm is different here - any ideas? 2. I could use the Tabbed Layout. Unfortunately the tabs currently are not giving me a really fast glue what is behind them. I have to read the title of the tabs - thats not very fast. I can image that some color-coding (ie. using regexps in the config) could improve this significantly. Also -since working on the terminal means looking at the bottom of the screen most of the time- putting the tabs at the bottom instead of the top would also be a great enhancement. What do you think? Are there any other options you can think of? Unfortunately I don't have any progamming skills w/ haskell. Which brings me to another problem: I'd like to map a key to execute two actions: I want to execute "windows W.focusDown" followed by a "windows W.swapMaster"; I have no idea how to specify this: ((modMask .|. shiftMask, xK_Return), ... ??? ... -- windows W.focusDown && windows W.swapMaster Could somebody help me with this? Thanks! - john -- chris
