Issue 75: float mode and automatic workspace placement don't work together http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=75 New issue report by lobz...@free.fr: What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. configure xmonad to have firefox starting in float mode in workspace named "web" : manageHook w _ _ c | c `elem` floats = fmap (W.float w . snd) (floatLocation w) where floats = ["MPlayer", "Gimp" , "pidgin" , "Firefox-bin"] -- Desktop panels and dock apps should be ignored by xmonad: manageHook w _ n _ | n `elem` ignore = reveal w >> return (W.delete w) where ignore = ["gnome-panel", "desktop_window", "kicker", "kdesktop"] -- Automatically send Firefox windows to the "web" workspace: -- If a workspace named "web" doesn't exist, the window will appear on the -- current workspace. manageHook _ _ "gecko" _ = return $ W.shift "web" manageHook _ _ "evolution" _ = return $ W.shift "mail" manageHook _ _ "icq" _ = return $ W.shift "icq" manageHook _ _ "pidgin" _ = return $ W.shift "misc" -- The default rule: return the WindowSet unmodified. You typically do not -- want to modify this line. manageHook _ _ _ _ = return id 2. restart xmonad --> What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect to have firefox float in workspace "web", however firefox starts in the current workspace. If I remove the firefox float rule, then firefox goes to the right workspace in tile mode... Thanks for your support ! Regards, Lobzang.
