I'm using `insertPosition Below Newer` with `composeOne`. When a password dialog appears, and the master window previously had the focus, the dialog gets focused and is put in the center of the screen. That part is perfect.
The problem comes when I dismiss the dialog. At that point I would expect the master window to regain focus, but one of the slave windows does instead. Of course, removing `insertPosition` fixes my issue.
I was finally able to write a configuration to get insertPosition to work the way I want. I moved all my manage hooks into composeOne and added the transience manage hook. Here is my final manage hook: manageHook :: ManageHook manageHook = manageDocks <> composeOne [ -- Some application windows ask to be floating (I'm guessing) but -- it's stupid to float them. title =? "HandBrake" -?> normalTile -- HandBrake file dialog asks for crazy sizes. , className =? "Handbrake" <&&> isDialog -?> forceCenterFloat -- Force dialog windows and pop-ups to be floating. , isDialog -?> doCenterFloat , stringProperty "WM_WINDOW_ROLE" =? "pop-up" -?> doCenterFloat , className =? "Gcr-prompter" -?> doCenterFloat , transience -- Move transient windows to their parent. -- Tile all other windows using insertPosition. , pure True -?> normalTile ] where normalTile = insertPosition Below Newer -- Peter Jones, Founder, Devalot.com Defending the honor of good code
