Issue 96: certain dialogs get dropped in gnucash http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=96 New issue report by and...(a)farwestbilliards.com: What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. open gnucash in xmonad 0.4 or later (bug confirmed in darcs as of 11/30/07 by byorgey on #xmonad). 2. select Edit->Find 3. Find dialog spawns and then dies. Not up long enough to finish drawing What is the expected output? What do you see instead? To spawn the dialog and allow it to persist. Instead it just vanishes immediately. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? 0.4 on debian sid, up-to-date Please provide any additional information below. Interesting corner-case symptom: 1. open gnucash 2. select Business -> Vendor -> New Bill... -> Select button. It fails on the first click, but succeeds on the second. This makes me think it could *possibly* be a gnucash issue, because why would the dialog appear differently the second time? but that's a vague guess on my part. The other "find" dialogs exhibit this behavior as well: Business -> Vendor|Customer -> Find Bill|Job I'm not prepared to call this just a WM error, but the devs at gnucash are of the idea that it is. Note that this behavior only shows up in xmonad and E17 (of all things). GNOME, KDE, IceWM, XFCE, wmii2, dwm all work properly. thanks 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.

Component-Contrib: patch LayoutScreens.hs
by Jacula Modyun 30 Nov '07

30 Nov '07

Hello haskellers, Configuring my first xmonad start, I ran into a little misspelling mistake in the LayoutScreens.hs usage notes. The patch is, I think, self explanatory. Thank you -- I've finally learned what "upward compatible" means. It means we get to keep all our old mistakes. -- Dennie van Tassel

Ssh-Prompt: Completion
by Dominik Bruhn 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hy, im currently using XMonad and XMonadContrib from darcs. There seems one problem: The completion for the ssh-prompt is not working at all. Although I have no knowledge of haskell at all I think the code includes this completion but tries to read the ~/.ssh/known_hosts. This file exists but does not contain the ssh-hosts I connected to in cleartext so they get skipped. On the otherside the file ~/.xmonad_history contains all the hosts I conntected to but this file is not taken into account uppon completion. Is this a bug or a feature? Is it possible to fix? Thanks a lot -- Dominik Bruhn mailto: dominik(a)dbruhn.de

Hello together, I am new to xmonad. I installed it on my gentoo system using the haskell overlay and "emerge xmonad".

new contrib modules in XMonad.Prompt
by Brent Yorgey 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hi all, I just pushed a few new contrib modules and wanted to highlight them here in case anyone might find them useful, or think of something interesting to do with them. Basically, I just discovered the excellent XMonad.Promptframework and have been playing around with it. * The first is XMonad.Prompt.AppendFile, which simply provides a prompt for you to type a single line of text which should be appended to a file. I use it for quickly writing down notes/reminders/todos that pop into my head into a special file, when I don't want to interrupt whatever else I'm doing. You could also use it for, say, writing a new xmonad contrib module line-by-line, although I don't recommend it. =) * The next is (IMO) the most interesting, XMonad.Prompt.Input. It provides a nice, modular way to build actions which require user input, using the existing prompt system to get the user input. I also refactored XMonad.Prompt a bit to make this possible. * XMonad.Prompt.Email is a simple example of the sort of thing that's possible with XMonad.Prompt.Input; it prompts the user for a recipient, a subject, and a short (one-line) body, and sends an e-mail via the GNU 'mail' utility. Comments, suggestions, and (especially) patches welcome! -Brent

Issue 4: Separate focus for tiled and floating layers http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=4 Comment #8 by daveroundy: This doesn't only affect fullscreen mode: it effects any mode that uses the focus to determine layout, which includes tabbed, magnifier, accordion, etc. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 95: Improve floating layer usability http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=95 Comment #2 by daveroundy: I'd just like to suggest that you could experiment with an alternate floating mode by writing a floating layout (which would make everything be floating) and then combining it with a tiling layout using combineTwo. You could then define JumpToLayout keybindings to float and sink windows between the two layouts. It's slightly hacky, but would mean that your code could be put into contrib before it's complete, so others could easily help out. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 95: Improve floating layer usability http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=95 Comment #1 by m...(a)christian-thiemann.de: This issue was bugging me a lot last week while preparing images for a presentation with gimp... so I already started looking into the code on how to fix this. As far as I understood, floating windows are simply tagged to be floating while the (visual) window stacking order is determined by the stacking order in the StackSet. In my opinion and as you said, the only defect of the floating layer is the lack of a raise function that can be triggered either by mouse (raise-on-click) or by keyboard (just to be consistent with the "keyboardless window manager" approach... although most people would probably use the mouse in the floating mode...). This could be done either by simply rearranging the windows in the StackSet or by maintaining an additional ordered list of floating windows (which are not present in the tiling stack). The former approach has the side effect that a floating window will not sink back into the same position where it was when set to floatig while the latter solution is just... er... I don't know... I actually like the first one better for conceptual reasons... Unless somebody immediately know how to code this, I would be happy to implement... but currently I am quite busy so I won't get on it before the weekend, I guess.
