Problem with smartBorders, multiple screens, and fullscreen windows
by Hans Chen 05 Feb '13

05 Feb '13

Hi, I have a problem with fullscreen windows on my multi-monitor setup. After reducing my xmonad.hs bit by bit, I finally tracked down the problem to smartBorders from XMonad.Layout.NoBorders. How to reproduce: 1. Add smartBorders to your layout(s). 1. Make a window fullscreen (e.g. mplayer, virtualbox, flash) on one screen, say screen 1. 2. Change to an arbitrary hidden workspace on another screen, e.g. on screen 2. What I get: The content of the fullscreen window (on screen 1 in the example above) isn't updated anymore. In mplayer, for example, the video simply "freezes" while the sound keeps going. I can fix it by restoring the window and make it fullscreen again. Expected results: Nothing should happen to the fullscreen window. More information: I'm using xmonad 0.10 and xmonad-contrib 0.10 on Arch Linux. I can reproduce this on two machines with different graphic cards, Nvidia and Intel, so I don't think the problem lies with the graphic driver, which was my first suspicion. If I remove borders from all screens except the one with the fullscreen window (by using noBorders), I can switch workspace without "freezing" the fullscreen window. I was surprised that I couldn't find anyone else with a similar issue (except maybe Issue 311<http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=311>) - if someone else can reproduce this, please let me know and I'll submit a bug report. Even better, if someone could help me fix or work around the problem without losing the functionality of smartBorders, I would be extremely happy. Thanks, Hans

xmonad on OSX Mountain Lion
by Mark Pardijs 03 Feb '13

03 Feb '13

I spend an evening trying to get xmonad under OSX Mountain Lion to work, but with little success... I followed this guides ( http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Using_xmonad_on_Apple_OSX#Modern_…, http://sourcematters.org/2012/06/27/xmonad-on-os-x-lion.html, https://gist.github.com/3923233) I end up with having X11 configured as not run in Full screen mode, other wise nothing happens and I just see my normal OSX desktop. When I then start XQuartz app, I can start various xterms, or xlogo, or xman by pressing Mod-return, and switch to the default xmonad layouts, but don't get the idea how to manage opening other applications such as my browser or, for example, the Notes app. Can you explain how this should work and how to accomplish this?

Issue 393 in xmonad: XMonad.Prompt.Shell should use user-defined searchPredicate
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 02 Feb '13

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 393 by hgabreu: XMonad.Prompt.Shell should use user-defined searchPredicate http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=393 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Set-up XMonad.Prompt.Shell with defaulXPConfig changing the searchPredicate to something else. e.g. \x y -> map toLower x `isPrefixOf` map toLower y 2. run your prompt, start typing anything to see that your searchPredicate is ignored. In the above example case IS ignored, so typing 'VI' should show 'vi' or 'vim' on the list, but they're not. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? latest darcs on up-to-date Archlinux x86_64 Are you using an xmonad.hs? Please attach it and the output of "xmonad --recompile". recompile prints nothing and my cluttered xmonad.hs is attached but only line 166 is related (which is a keybind to X.A.SpawnOn shellPromptHere). Please provide any additional information below. X.P.Shell also completes filenames using bash's compgen, it should respect user's setting (~/.inputrc) telling it to ignore-case (set completion- ignore-case on). But that's another problem, I'm just complaining about command completion for now.

XMonad move windows with different title after start to a specific workspace
by Manuel Holzleitner 01 Feb '13

01 Feb '13

I want to automatically assign windows of Intellij Idea projects to specific workspaces in xmonad. I tried the following in my xmonad.hs: myManageHook = composeAll . concat $ [ [ fmap (c `isInfixOf`) title --> doShift "5:lp" | c <- myLP] , [ fmap (c `isInfixOf`) title --> doShift "2:amq-svc" | c <- myAmq] , [ fmap (c `isInfixOf`) title --> doShift "3:testfwks" | c <- myTest] ] where myLP = ["lp-intellij"] myAmq = ["msg-svc-intellij"] myTest = ["testframeworks"] However, it seems when a Intellij window is started at first the title is just "Intellij" and does not contain the projects name, so xmonad does not shift the window to the workspace. Is it possible to execute this hook when a title of a window changes, so that the projects are assigned automatically to its workspace?

Dialog windows get overlapped in Gimp (floating layer)
by David Unric 30 Jan '13

30 Jan '13

Hi, can anybody give me an advice how to fix the following issue ? Whenever the Gimp is launched all its windows are put in a floating layer on reserved workspace: import qualified XMonad.StackSet as StackSet ... myManageHook = composeAll [ ... , className ~? "Gimp" --> shiftView "graphics" <+> doFloat ... ] where shiftView ws = doShift ws <+> doF (StackSet.greedyView ws) So far so good, the Gimp windows "gimp-image-window", "gimp-toolbox" and "gimp-dock" are properly moved to "graphics" workspace and sent to float. However if I invoke any dialog from the main window like "gimp-file-open" (File/Open from the menu) it is not placed as the top window but appears bellow "gimp-toolbox" and "gimp-dock" and I have to manually place it in front every time. Any idea how to fix this annoying glitch ? Thx xmonad 0.11

Issue 529 in xmonad: XMonad.Prompt.Shell double-encodes with recent ghc
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 29 Jan '13

29 Jan '13

Status: Accepted Owner: allber...(a)gmail.com Labels: Component-Contrib Type-Defect Usability New issue 529 by allber...(a)gmail.com: XMonad.Prompt.Shell double-encodes with recent ghc http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=529 [29 13:43] <ryanakca> Yes. Running "echo 'àé' > /tmp/foo && hexdump -C /tmp/foo" gives "c3 a0 c3 a9 0a" in urxvt under xmonad here, and "echo 'àé' > /tmp/foo" via the shell prompt provided by XMonad.Prompt.Shell, followed by "hexdump -C /tmp/foo" in urxvt, displays "c3 83 c2 a0 c3 83 c2 a9 0a". X.P.Shell is explicitly calling encodeUtf8, but the base ghc libraries with 7.6.1 already do that if $LANG / $LC_ALL is set unless you call the lower level versions of these functions. (Which didn't exist in older versions of base, so we can't simply use those instead.)

Looking to deploy xmonad to ~20 employees
by Thomas Løcke 26 Jan '13

26 Jan '13

Hey all, I've been running xmonad for a while now, and I'm very happy with it, so happy in fact that I'm contemplating moving most of my employees from Windows XP to Linux with xmonad. Most of them are only using a specific set of applications, so we don't really need the extra hassle of having a WM/DE with all sorts of bells and whistles. I do though have a couple of issues: 1. We need to be able to run a legacy Windows application. I plan on solving this with VirtualBox, and I would like for my employees to have this application available fullscreen at workspace 1, but when I fullscreen the virtual XP on this workspace, the bottom part of Windows "fall out" below the monitor. This is because I have xmobar running. If I disable xmobar the problem goes away. But I only want to disable xmobar for this one workspace. Is there a way to disable struts on a single workspace, preferably in xmonad.hs? 2. I want to start a few programs on xmonad startup. What is considered best practice, .xinitrc or .xmonad.hs? 3. How can I change the shift+mod+[c|q] shortcuts to something insanely impossible? I don't want people killing stuff by mistake. 4. VNC access. I'm guessing this works just the same as with KDE/Gnome, but I'd be interested in hearing if anybody got some experiences to share. I guess that's all for now. I'm pretty excited about this, and I do hope everything can be made to work in a satisfactory way. :o) Thomas Løcke

In a SimplestFloat layout workspace, we want to embed a SimpleTabbed layoput region. Is it possible ? Regards!
