Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 488 by Longp...(a)gmail.com: new dmenu version breaks xmonad-contrib wrapper http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=488 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 title: new dmenu version breaks xmonad-contrib wrapper dmenu-4.4.1 appends a newline to the outputted string representing the selected item, breaking xmonad-contrib's dmenu wrapper, which expects no newline. I've attached a patch to fix this. It's backwards compatible with old versions of dmenu. I've only tested it directly with ``dmenuMap``. What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. run code: ``dmenuMap $ M.fromList [("k_x","v_x"),("k_y","v_y"),("k_z","v_z")]`` 2. choose "k_x" in the menu bar that pops up What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Return value should be ``Just "v_x"``. Actual value is ``Nothing``. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? reproduced on xmonad-contrib-0.10 and xmonad-contrib-0.9 with dmenu-4.4.1, worked with dmenu-4.2.1.

Space between terminal
by Pablo Olmos de Aguilera Corradini 19 Jul '12

19 Jul '12

Since some time (sadly I'm not sure when), I've started to see a little space (like 5 to 10 pixels) between the vim window and the terminal window[1]. I don't know where to start looking, can somebody point me where to start looking?

[noob question] I lost the sound when using xmonad
by Samuel Lê 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

Dear list, I installed xmonad on my laptop, and everything works great. The only problem is that now I lost the sound that I had with gnome. I am an xmonad and haskell noob, so I don't know where to start to fix this issue. Does someone have a clue? Many thanks, Sam

Issue 511 in xmonad: Ewmh should advertise _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN in the _NET_SUPPORTED list
by codesite-noreply＠google.com 16 Jul '12

16 Jul '12

Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 511 by jleedev: Ewmh should advertise _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN in the _NET_SUPPORTED list http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=511 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Use ewmh config 2. Use gnome-terminal 3. Attempt to go full screen What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Gnome-terminal doesn't enable the full screen command unless the window manager advertises such support. The setSupported function in XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops should be extended to support this. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? 0.10-3 on Ubuntu 12.04 Are you using an xmonad.hs? Please attach it and the output of "xmonad --recompile". This can be reproduced with the standard `xmonad gnomeConfig`. Please provide any additional information below.

doFullFloat keybinding?
by 1126 15 Jul '12

15 Jul '12

Hello List! I have a WS devoted to reading PDFs and alike and in my manageHook config stands the following: , className =? "Evince" --> doFullFloat This is, because I like my two xmobars (top and bottom) to disappear, when reading a paper such things. But: When evince is FullFloating I got problems when opening more than one instance of it, like a second paper. It just lets the first one disappear under the freshly opened one. What I would like to have is a keybinding to switch FullFloating on and off. Is this possible and if so, how? (By the way: another solution - maybe even a better one - would be to tell xmonad that if I hit F11 (go fullscreen) in evince, that this windows should be above the xmobars and should take the whole screen. Like VLC does.) I couldn't find anything about it, I'm sorry for the noise if I just sucked at Google-ing ;) Thank you!

XMonad and Xfce panel workspace question
by Pablo Olmos de Aguilera C. 13 Jul '12

13 Jul '12

After some suffering, I managed to configure to use Xfce as a DE with xmonad as its WM. As stated in the wiki, the workspace panel plugin worked nice with xmonad workspaces, and it does... partially. I ran xmonad in two monitors, my main monitor (1920*1080), the laptop monitor (1366*768) and I have 7 workspaces. The problem is that Xfce thinks both monitors are ONE workspace, so each workspace "slot" is divided into two, the left half is the first monitor, and the right half the second monitor. The rest of the workspaces left side shows the apps opened in their respective WS, and the right side is empty. I'm sending a screenshot, maybe it can help to clear things a bit: http://imgur.com/Oogzq. In this case, I have three terminals opened in the first WS and only one in the sixth. As you can see, the panel shows the 6th WS empty (which is not). If I move between the workspaces in the main monitor, in the panel looks like only the right half is moving. I can see that xmonad and xfce understands workspaces differently, but it's a bit annoying (and confusing) to have those empty spaces. Honestly, I don't mind being able to make xfce "ignore" the second monitor and just show the first one. I imagine that something similar has to happen with kde or gnome, so I was wondering if there was a way to deal with this.

The solutions discussed already are probably the way to go for a clean approach, but just a remark on this point, as it's a general problem with floating windows in xmonad. There's a (undocumented, i think) function raiseWindow that you can use to put a window in front of all others. I guess this isn't called by default since tiled windows don't need to be raised in front of each other (whereas floats do). So you can add this to your config to get around it, but maybe it's a hack: raiseFocused :: X () raiseFocused = do disp <- asks display mw <- gets (W.peek . windowset) maybe (return ()) (io . (raiseWindow disp)) mw myLogHook = ... <+> raiseFocused <+> ... Matt

"Park" windows in a named group automatically
by Klaas van Schelven 11 Jul '12

11 Jul '12

Hi all, I really love what XMonad is doing for my productivity. There is, however, one particular scenario in which I feel I'm doing to much by hand. Say I've got my development env. set up and I'm working on project A. On screen 1 I've got my browser, on 2 one or two shells and on 3 my editor. Now, a client calls with an urgent question, or my coworker asks if I can help her out. Now I need to set up screens 1, 2 & 3 with a browser with different content, one or two shells on different servers/directories and an editor with different open files. It would be great if I could have some command / keybinding / whatever that quickly parks the contents of certain screens to a named location, i.e. (conceptually) "Park my current state to 'Project A'" set up new stuff to deal with the interruption park the new stuff in "Helping coworker" go back to "Project A" I'd love to hear a solution for this, even if it's not exactly along the lines of what I just described. ciao -- Klaas van Schelven +31 6 811 599 10

Ah, yeah, this too: though if you do this to every window that gets focus, you won't be able to mod+j/k your way through anything but the first two windows. (In fact, for floats, i shiftMaster on modkey release (emulating the usual Windows alt-tab stacking behaviour), but this means you can't see what you're selecting until you've selected it...). Matt

ManageHook and child windows
by Raghavendra D Prabhu 09 Jul '12

09 Jul '12

Hi, I am using ManageHook to assign windows to workspaces; however, sometimes I tend to move the window to other workspace and after that happens, any dialog/child window of this window appears in the original assigned workspace and not in the new workspace. Is there a way to fix / workaround this? Regards, -- Raghavendra Prabhu GPG Id : 0xD72BE977 Fingerprint: B93F EBCB 8E05 7039 CD3C A4B8 A616 DCA1 D72B E977 www: wnohang.net
