Hello,
I have a program which doesn't work nicely with xmonad because of the apparition of popup windows, supposed to be small but who take suddenly half the size of the screen.
Is there a layout for xmonad which would (un)manages windows just like, say Openbox ?
I use myManageHook for floating or ignoring such popup windows. This way you can keep your usual layout and only add some special cases for misbehaving windows. Something like this: myManageHook :: ManageHook myManageHook = composeAll [ fmap (isInfixOf "Gnuplot") title --> doFloat , className =? "Xfce4-panel" --> doIgnore , className =? "Yad" --> doFloat , isInProperty "_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE" "_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_TOOLBAR" --> doIgnore -- fix for libreoffice dialogs , isInProperty "_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE" "_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_SPLASH" --> doIgnore -- splash screens , isFullscreen --> doFullFloat , isDialog --> doFloat , role =? "pop-up" --> doFloat ] (you can check the window properties using xprop utility) -- Best regards, Platon Pronko PGP 2A62D77A7A2CB94E
