You should try GreedyView in XMonadContrib. Let me know how you like it -- I've been considering making this the default behavior for some time now. ... snip ... Cheers, Spencer Janssen

Hi Spencer, I've been using the GreedyView module for about a day now and I find it makes alot more sense to me because it means that my active screen _stays_ my active screen. The concept of bringing the workspace to my active screen every time works really well. The one thing I'm trying to think my way around is how to handle this situation, - I'm trawling my workspaces to see where I left a particular window - I (unintentionally) pull the workspace on my other screen to my active screen - My active workspace then gets swapped to the 2nd screen - I move my active screen to another workspace Now the workspace I wanted to be on my 2nd screen is no longer visible and I have to fish it out and put it back where it was. But a big +1 on GreedyView. Cheers Dave
