Sat Oct 6 18:03:24 CEST 2007 mail@joachim-breitner.de * ManageHook list interface This patch implements the proposed manageLog interface outlined in http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=54
Note that all the Data.Monoid stuff is just to avoid writing foldl (.) id as mconcat. Maybe foldl (.) id is nicer in this case.
I’m not sure if I put the ManageHook type declaration in the right spot.
I did not adjust any plugins to the new interface, although the recently commited ManageDocks.hs by chance already had this interface :-)
The Config.hs could probably need some example, as soon as some plugins use this interface
-- Add hooks from imported extensions, e.g. manageHooks = [ floatGimp, manageDocksHook ]

This removes important functionality: the ability for users to write simple window management rules without mucking about with getClassHints and such. I do think we need a way to compose management rules, but we can't compromise the simple user-facing interface.
Fri Oct 12 00:53:26 CEST 2007 mail@joachim-breitner.de * Hook for broadcastMessage messages Hi,
this patch adds a new hook, messageHook. This patch should probably not go into the darcs repository (because this is a very specific hook), at least not before 0.4 and not before a proper hook interface is in place.
Nevertheless it is needed by people who want to try the interactive EwhmDesktops, see the patch against contrib coming in next.
Greetins, Joachims
Typically we've stuck event handling things in layouts and layout modifiers. Not sure whether an explicit hook or reusing layouts is better. Cheers, Spencer Janssen
