Using XMonad as a Gnome window manager
by Kai Grossjohann 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

I've successfully set up XMonad as a Gnome window manager. Thanks for the good work that made this possible! But you give me a finger and I want your hand :-) Specifically, the Gnome pager shows which workspace I'm in, but clicking on the Gnome pager to switch to another workspace doesn't. Furthermore, I added a window list button to the panel, but selecting a window from the list to switch to it does nothing. This is on a pre-0.4 darcs snapshot. Kai

Issue 84 in xmonad: Do our own recompilation checker

Issue 84: Do our own recompilation checker http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=84 New issue report by dons00: Invoking GHC to check if xmonad.hs needs recompiling is too expensive to go with for the release. Do our own timestamp check. Code for this is in hs-plugins already.

Changes in the dev branch: xmonad can now be configured without recompiling the src!
by Don Stewart 08 Nov '07

08 Nov '07

Just an update on what's been happening in the development branch of xmonad. This is a quick summary of changes that will affect those who follow the darcs branch. The big merge is done, thanks to David for prototyping, and Spencer for kicking the types into shape! xmonad from darcs now builds as a library, as does the extension library. The (very) good news: * xmonad can be reconfigured without having to recompile the source! * multiple xmonad instances on a system can use different config settings * the contrib library builds as a normal library * Config.hs now lives in ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs * configuration is now much simpler and shorter. My 100 line Config.hs is now around 5 lines, with the same result in particular point one was the key technical issue which made xmonad not quite a first class citizen on unix -- it had to be recompiled to be reconfigured. Those days are now passed. The bad news: * the format and location of Config.hs has changed slightly, meaning you'll have to edit your ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs if you follow the darcs branch (and the upcoming 0.5 release) * documentation is now a little out of date. * xmonad now requires Cabal 1.2, which you can get with ghc 6.8, or from hackage.haskell.org Some initial examples of the ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs configuration system are appearing on the wiki, http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Config_archive and if you port your old Config.hs across to the new xmonad.hs style, please consider uploading both old and new to the wiki, to make it easier for others. Other documentation is likely to be out of date. If people have suggestions on how best to migrate users from the old to the new configuration system, I'd love to hear it. -- Don

If you are using xmonad-0.4 you can use the attached version of DynamicLog.hs If you are using the darcs version you can use XMonad.Config.Sjanssen which uses xmobar and a nice log formatting with colors too.

Issue 40 in xmonad: Screen focus does not follow the mouse pointer

Issue 40: Screen focus does not follow the mouse pointer http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=40 Comment #1 by dons00: Clicking on the root window to focus is often expected to work --but doesn't, for this reason. So users need to remember mod-w,e,r. We should fix this at some point. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Issue 83: Report errors in ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=83 New issue report by dons00: Syntax, type and linking errors, package errors, and missing ghc issues, are all silently unreported by xmonad head branch. Use xmessage or similar to report these errors. Additionally, the original defaults are used on failure, which people do not expect. We should behave more like vim or mutt when errors are found in the config file: report them, and contiue with the previous state/defaults.
