Excerpts from J. Bobby Lopez's message of Tue Nov 17 15:10:51 -0700 2009:
I just read this thread:http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=283
And it explains a problem I am having where Xmonad 0.8 hangs every once in a while.
The solution seems to suggest setting up StdinReader correctly, but I'm not sure exactly where/how to do that?
Is it something I have to set up in .xmobarrc, or in .xmonad/xmonad.hs? Anyone have an example?
Yes. StdinReader should be in commands and template section of your .xmobarrc to display dynamicLog data sent to xmobar's stdin from xmonad. (for example: workspaces, layout, title of focused window.) There is an example .xmobarrc including StdinReader on the xmonad config archive in John Goerzen's tutorial.
