runLayout changes!
by Brent Yorgey 14 Mar '08

Hi all, Sorry to keep you waiting, but while getting these changes together I somehow managed to completely hose my xmonad twice! The first time I'll write about later, but suffice it to say that it had nothing to do with the runLayout changes. The second time... I'm still not sure what was going on, but after rebuilding everything from scratch it... seems to be OK now. Of course, it's always scary when something magically gets fixed without knowing why, but hopefully things should be OK. Of course, if you experience any problems, reports/patches/etc. welcome, and so on! Don, if you can apply all these patches, that would be great. I could apply the contrib patches myself, but of course the core patches and contrib patches need to be applied all at the same time or else things will break. A quick summary of what's going on here: the LayoutClass is getting a new method, called runLayout. By default, runLayout just calls doLayout or emptyLayout as appropriate. If you're writing a simple LayoutClass instance, you don't need to worry about it; you can choose to implement doLayout, or pureLayout, or whatever, just as before. However, if you are writing code which *makes use of* a LayoutClass instance, you should *only* call runLayout, handleMessage, and description: client code should no longer call doLayout directly. If you do, anything which uses a non-default runLayout (like PerWorkspace) will break when used in conjunction with your code. For more information, see all the modules that were updated for examples, and see the Haddock documentation for Core.hs: I added a bunch of documentation which should hopefully make everything clear. And yes, of course, this means that PerWorkspace now works with xinerama setups!

Issue 155: Don't display borders around fullscreen MPlayer http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=155 New issue report by janeczek: What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Start MPlayer 2. Press 'f' to switch to full screen What is the desired output? What do you see instead? Border is visible on the left and top sides of MPlayer window. I'd rather not see it.

Issue 154: add support for UTF-8 locale in NamedWindows and DynamicLog http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=154 Comment #5 by andrea.rossato: > Maybe I missed something (once again :), but I don't understand you when it you're > talking about iconv library. Why should window manager ever convert user's data > (text) from one encoding to another? > X11 itself, it provides full locale support for free! Just call setlocale, use Xmb* > function (why convert strings to wc?) and get it! Maybe it's me the one who missed something, even if I don't see how a shell prompt - and the strings it may produce - can be related to the Xlib locale support. But I would like to stress my basic ignorance on any C strings related topic, as I think a repeatedly pointed out. And on any low level way of representing stuff like strings, numbers or whatever. This patch/pre-bug report was meant to let you know that setLocale is already called when locale aware functions are used. And this is done because of the XFT support that was added some time ago. I don't know anything about XFT too. For the record. Actually report was originally meant as a joke to attach a patch to let someone run an i18n aware WM now. I didn't mean to do anything but that. Sorry for the noise. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 154: add support for UTF-8 locale in NamedWindows and DynamicLog http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=154 Comment #4 by andrea.rossato: A bug tracking system is *meant* to be used as a proxy to communicate with the development team directly. And I was indeed using it as a proxy for communicating with you directly. I know I was ironic, maybe sarcastic somehow. But even if I'm not an English native speaker, I think my report cannot be judged offensive. And I attached a patch, in exchange of my irony. Still your reaction, and this is not the first time, is harsh. Inappropriately harsh, I would add. As if you were thinking I'm directly attacking you, or the other developers, and your (and the other developers') hacking skills. This is something I don't really understand. But I think you need to understand that I'm an xmonad user. I invested quite some of my time in developing it because I need it, and I won't stop using it because I had an argument with some of its developers. And when I'll think something is wrong I'll come back here and, with my style, with my way of thinking about things, and code, and software development, I'll write another long, and maybe uselessly complicated bug report - maybe attaching even a short patch, to express my thought in Haskell too, if someone is willing to read. And while I think you are a great hacker, and I learned (and keep learning) by studying your code and your papers - this is why I think you are totally wrong if you think the intent of my bug report is to make fun of you -, still this is not going to change. And while I know I do not have the possibility to change your attitude towards me, still you do not have the possibility to choose who's going to use your software. And who's going to submit patches and bug reports. I'm really sorry, but your only way out is to leave the xmonad development. ;) -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
