Re: [xmonad] gnome-panel not seen as dock?

31 Dec 2007

      I have things working with gnome-panel with only a minor issue (startup
items that have system tray icons take a long time to start).

Are you missing setting a gap? Relevant xmonad.hs parts:

import XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks

--For one gnome-panel across top, for usual gnome setup
--use: myDefaultGaps = [(24, 24, 0, 0)]
myDefaultGaps   = [(24,0,0,0)]

myLayout = avoidStruts(tiled ||| Mirror tiled ||| Full)
  where
     -- default tiling algorithm partitions the screen into two panes
     tiled   = Tall nmaster delta ratio
     -- The default number of windows in the master pane
     nmaster = 1
     -- Default proportion of screen occupied by master pane
     ratio   = 1/2
     -- Percent of screen to increment by when resizing panes
     delta   = 3/100

Also, how are you getting xmonad to launch in place of metacity? I have this
in my ~/.gnomerc:

 export WINDOW_MANAGER=/usr/bin/xmonad

Now we're closer: the config compiles and now we're in gnome with
xmonad as the WM.  I know this because I can roll the mouse over a
window and it will receive the focus (not normal metacity behavior).
Also, the windows have no titlebar.
The issue is when I start say, firefox, it gets put in the top left
corner _over top_ of the gnome-panel.  Also, firefox didn't launch
into fullscreen which is normal xmonad behavior if I run it alone.
alt-j and alt-k don't work so it looks like I'm halfway there?  I
looked at the keyboard shortcuts in gnome and there doesn't seem to be
conflicts.
I'm debating throwing out gnome and just using dzen but I'd rather use
gnome.
Sorry about being a nag,
Jevin

hope this helps.
sorry for my cut and paste... I meant:
import XMonad
import XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks
main = xmonad $ defaultConfig
                  { borderWidth      = 3
                  , manageHook       = manageDocks
                  , layoutHook       = avoidStruts (tall ||| Mirror
tall)
                  }
                where tall = Tall 1 (3/100) (1/2)
