Pidgin dzen app

I've started playing around with xmonad recently and really like it. I was sort of annoyed that I had to run a system tray program to see whether or not I have pending unread messages in Pidgin, so I tried to write a small program that I could use to pipe the number of unread messages to a dzen instance. I just hacked this up tonight using the Pidgin DBUS API. The logic isn't 100% correct (if you have a conversation window in the pidgin foreground but pidgin isn't an active window, it still thinks you've read the message), and I'm not a good enough C hacker to really be confident that I really understand how the Pidgin DBUS API works and if this is the correct way to figure out how many unread messages there are, but it might inspire someone smarter than myself to take a look and write something better ;-) For your enjoyment: http://static.eklitzke.org/pidgin-dzen.tar.gz P.S. The code is in Python, but if nothing else this should give you a start if you want to try to implement this in Haskell or some other language. -- Evan Klitzke <evan(a)yelp.com>

Issue 105 in xmonad: Tabs become managed windows upon xmonad restart on multi-screen setups

Issue 105: Tabs become managed windows upon xmonad restart on multi-screen setups http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=105 New issue report by lit...(a)hethrael.com: What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Have a tabbed workspace visible on one screen of a multi-screen setup. 2. Focus a window in the other screen. 3. Restart xmonad (press Mod+Q). What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Nothing visible should change. Instead, the tabs become managed windows in the focused workspace (attachment 1). What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? xmonad 0.5 on Ubuntu Gutsy, GHC 6.6. Please provide any additional information below. Creating or destroying a window in the tabbed workspace fixes the problem, as does pressing Mod+Shift+Space. Closing one of the tab windows quits xmonad. Restarting xmonad with the focus in the non-tabbed workspace while the tab windows are managed makes for weirdness: the tabs appear in the correct place, but the spaces where the tabbed windows used to be are empty (attachment 2). After the focus changes, the tabs become managed windows like before. If this error is due to a module from XMonadContrib, please tag this issue with 'Component-Contrib' below. Component-Contrib Note that the empty space in the lower-right corners of the screenshots is because my right screen is only 720 pixels tall.

Issue 104: Window padding and/or transparent normalBorderColor http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=104 New issue report by thayerw: I apologize if this is not not the appropriate venue for such a request... I think it would be great to have an extension that can set a user-configurable padding between both the screen edges as well as clients, giving the appearance that the tiled clients were floating on top of the desktop. For example, assuming the padding was set to something like 40px, it would look something like this: http://www.cinderwick.ca/files/shots/20071217-dublin.png (attached) Attachments: 20071217-dublin.png 623 KB Issue attributes: Status: New Owner: ---- Labels: Type-Defect Priority-Medium -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Stuck inside a window - this happen to anyone else?
by Dougal Stanton 17 Dec '07

17 Dec '07

This is just a complete shot-in-the-dark bug report, to see if anyone else has experienced similar symptoms. I don't imply that the following problem has anything to do with xmonad, though it would seem the prime suspect. Earlier today I was working in Firefox with a bunch of other windows open on screen, a bunch of other workspaces populated too. FF was working fine, but everything I tried to do *outside* of the browser didn't work. I couldn't mouse over other windows to give them focus. I couldn't switch to other workspaces. I couldn't move the focussed window around with mod-shift-j/k or choose a new master. I couldn't mod-q to restart, though I managed to switch to another virtual terminal and back (ctrl-alt-Fn) so the keyboard seems to have been responsive. If I'd been thinking at the time I would have tried to open another window from within Firefox to see what it would do. In the end I killed xmonad from the other VT and it all worked out fine. Has this ever happened to you? And secondarily, is there a way to mod-q Xmonad through a kill sig? Does it recognise SIGHUP? Cheers, D. -- Dougal Stanton dougal(a)dougalstanton.net // http://www.dougalstanton.net
