Issue 7: Xmonad can be frozen with a typo http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=7 New issue report by stefa...@cox.net: What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Press mod-p 2. Select any program which reads from stdin, such as 'cat' What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I would expect the process to nicely SIGTTIN and stay out of the way. Instead, X/Xmonad stops responding to mod-commands. I have to use C-M-BS and restart X. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Latest darcs, i686-linux-gnu (Debian sid) Please provide any additional information below. This is especially problematic for me because 411topnm is the first program in the mod-p listing, so if typeahead is missed an attempt to launch any program can trigger this.

darcs patch: keep focus stack.
by David Roundy 13 May '07

13 May '07

Hi all, Here's an amend-recorded version of my focus stack patch, which fixes recent conflicts. I understand there's some debate (presumably on IRC?) as to what is the best way to deal with the focus issues, and figure that having working code to consider could come in handy in the discussion. It's also a significant usability improvement in the meantime... David Thu May 10 06:16:37 PDT 2007 David Roundy <droundy(a)darcs.net> * keep focus stack.

Switch screens less often?
by Kai Grossjohann 11 May '07

11 May '07

I find that xmonad switches screens too often for my taste. So I would like to try out new behavior. Has anyone implemented it already? If not, then I'd try to give it a go, but I don't know any Haskell... Specifically: * Currently, Mod-1 and friends may switch screens if that workspace is already visible on another screen. I would like to make them beep instead, and not change workspaces. * Currently, RotView switches screens when the next workspace in line is on another screen. I would like to make it skip such workspaces. Example: Say I am on screen 0, showing workspace 1. Screen 1 shows workspace 3. Then rotating to the right should show workspace 2, then workspace 4, skipping workspace 3. * I would like to retain the behavior of Mod-w, Mod-e, Mod-r switching screens. Kai

darcs patch: bump LOC limit to 550 (and 1 more)
by Jason Creighton 11 May '07

Wed May 9 21:27:31 MDT 2007 Jason Creighton <jcreigh(a)gmail.com> * bump LOC limit to 550 Wed May 9 21:36:20 MDT 2007 Jason Creighton <jcreigh(a)gmail.com> * Swap workspaces instead of switching screens Previously, xmonad if workspace 1 and 2 were visible on screens 1 and 2, and workspace 1 was the current workspace, mod-2 would simply simple switch focus to screen 2. The new behavior is to always show the workspace you're switching to on the current screen. If the new workspace was visible on another screen, the formerly-current workspace will appear on that screen. In the example above, workspace 2 would appear on screen 1 and workspace 1 would appear on screen 2.

Statusbar ideas
by Robert Manea 10 May '07

10 May '07

Hi, i just played a bit with xmonad and added 2 new actions to dzen2 to be better suitable as a statusbar. * Example 1: Custom statusbar Add the following to your .xinitrc just before xmonad is being called: dwm-status.sh | dzen2 -p -e 'sigusr1=raise;sigusr2=lower;onquit=exec:rm /tmp/dzen2-pid;button3=exit' & echo $! > /tmp/dzen2-pid Add 2 keybindings to Config.hs: , ((modMask, xK_s ), spawn "kill -10 `cat /tmp/dzen2-pid`") , ((modMask, xK_t ), spawn "kill -12 `cat /tmp/dzen2-pid`") dwm-status.sh can be found here (zsh script!): http://gotmor.googlepages.com/dwm-status.sh mod-s raises the statusbar to view mod-t lowers it (hides it behind the other windows) * Example 2: xmonad debugging output .xinitrc: xmonad 2>&1 | dzen2 -p -e 'sigusr1=raise;sigusr2=lower;onquit=exec:rm /tmp/dzen2-pid;button3=exit' & echo $! > /tmp/dzen2-pid while :; do sleep 3600; done Add the same key bindings as described above. You could use then '-l <n>' feature to keep a log of the debugging output and scroll through it, too. This is a really hackish approach but good enough for debugging purposes as i think :). IMPORTANT: For all this to work you'll need the latest svn version of dzen2! Get it with: svn checkout http://dzen.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ dzen Have fun, Rob

Issue 6: Xmonad does not respect size hints http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=6 Comment #1 by quilotta: I made a quick & dirty patch for size hints: http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/xmonad/2007-May/000132.html Though you'll find that xpdf and imagemagick don't set useful size hints. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

0.1: Missing border around some windows
by Kai Grossjohann 10 May '07

10 May '07

There is a red border around xterm windows when they have focus. This border is lacking for Emacs, Gaim, and Firefox windows. (And possibly others.) Running xmonad-0.1. Kai
