The window manager is not invoked then, instead the server checks the focus inheritance policy *of the window that just closed*. And the default is to give focus to (the X server's idea of) the "previous window". It doesn't ask the window manager which that is, or ask the window manager to change the focused window; it determines that and assigns focus itself, and the window manager finds out about it from the subsequent FocusIn event. > Is "above" also controlled by X instead of WM?

More or less, the way you'd have to do it is to call XRaiseWindow() regularly, possibly in response to any X11 event other than Expose (sending it on that event risks an infinite loop since the server will generate an Expose event if any part of your window was covered). (This kind of thing is why EWMH moved it into the window manager. Now if only we could do it right given how the StackSet works....) -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b(a)gmail.com ballbery(a)sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net

In particular, the X server may well send focus to a managed window *itself* via its window focus inheritance policy. The best xmonad could do would be to use a handleEventHook to detect the window being given focus (this might be rather difficult because focusIn and focusOut events are not currently delivered by the Haskell X11 bindings, sigh) and send focus elsewhere --- but in that case the window would still briefly receive focus. You probably need to find a clock program that knows how to operate as an unmanaged window. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b(a)gmail.com ballbery(a)sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net

I tried current Chromium and Chrome to test some websites and found out that the new version requires for Chromium to be floating or else there's glitches and corrupted drawing. Anyone else seen this?

Multiple statusbars
by Alexis de BRUYN 13 Jun '14

13 Jun '14

Hi Everybody, I am looking for a way to have two statusbars (xmobar or dzen), one at the top and the other one at the bottom of the screen, which could be always visible. I have tried some configs on the Xmonad/Config_archive and other from other sites, but actually I don't how to launch and set the second bar to be not hidden by the windows. Thanks for your help, Alexis. -- Alexis de BRUYN

[xmobar] XBM icons for layout indicators
by Ruslan Kiianchuk 08 Jun '14

08 Jun '14

Hello, community. Can someone point me into the right direction on how to set up XMonad + XMobar to show XBM icons instead layout names? My current XMonad configuration <https://github.com/zoresvit/dotfiles/tree/master/xmonad>. *PS:* I'm not a Haskell programmer, know only basics for simple XMonad configuration. Perhaps that's the reason I couldn't Google it and get the desired result. Thanks for any help! -- Sincerely, Ruslan Kiianchuk.

Issue 574 in xmonad: Applications stop receiving keyboard events if I type Greek letters in the shell prompt
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 06 Jun '14

06 Jun '14

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 574 by anakreon...(a)gmail.com: Applications stop receiving keyboard events if I type Greek letters in the shell prompt http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=574 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Switch to Greek keyboard 2. Launch sell prompt (modm F3) 3. Type any letter in the prompt The typed letter does not appear in the prompt. Some times Esc works and focus returns in an opened X window but the prompt remains visible until I restart the X session. Other times the behaviour is worse. Opened applications do not receive keyboard input at all. I can use the mouse and paste selected text though. Also I can switch to another desktop (modm 1-9). It seems that only letter keys are disabled. I have attached my XMonad configuration file.

Issue 573 in xmonad: getSelection leaks a handle to the X server
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 31 May '14

Status: New Owner: ---- Labels: Component-Contrib New issue 573 by allber...(a)gmail.com: getSelection leaks a handle to the X server http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=573 getSelection opens its own connection to the X server to retrieve and convert the current selection without impacting the main connection or run loop. It doesn't close the connection afterward, so repeated use will eventually cause the server to stop accepting connections or xmonad to run out of file descriptors, depending on system load etc. -- You received this message because this project is configured to send all issue notifications to this address.
