Before you update xmonad to the latest darcs, be sure to upgrade X11-extras, or you risk losing windows.

Cheers, Spencer Janssen

Actually, this is not quite sufficient (good catch by Stefan). Here is what will work: - darcs pull X11-extras, clean, build, install X11-extras - 'runhaskell Setup clean', build, install X11-xmonad - restart into the newly built executable - view each of your workspaces at least once - darcs pull xmonad - clean, build, install xmonad - restart

Or you can just be safe and totally restart X the next time you upgrade.

Hey all,

Nice totally fresh checkouts of all 3,

xmonad, Spencer Janssen **20070630021026] X11-extras, Spencer Janssen **20070620211004] XMonadContrib, l.mai@web.de**20070629171038

X11-extras builds fine, but I'm getting this build error for xmonad,

% sudo runhaskell Setup.lhs build Preprocessing executables for xmonad-0.2... Building xmonad-0.2... [ 2 of 13] Compiling XMonad ( XMonad.hs, dist/build/xmonad/xmonad-tmp/XMonad.o )

XMonad.hs:62:5: No instance for (Read Rectangle) arising from the 'deriving' clause of a data type declaration at XMonad.hs:62:5 Possible fix: add an instance declaration for (Read Rectangle) When deriving the instance for `Read ScreenDetail' _______________________________________________

That Read instance was added to X11-extras, be sure to pull the latest patch? (and double check it was installed). Also, runhaskell Setup.lhs clean for xmonad. -- Don
