I can't seem to get Cellwriter (a handwriting recognition input panel) to work with XMonad, whereas it works fine under other window managers. When I enter letters in Cellwriter and hit the "Enter" button, the input doesn't seem to go anywhere.
The only Cellwriter-related config I've put in my xmonad.hs is to always float it, via the usual
myManageHook = composeAll [ ... className =? "Cellwriter" --> doFloat, ... ]
Has anyone got Cellwriter working with XMonad? Or should I report this as a bug?
Try building xmonad with the latest patch in http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=177 I'm betting that Cellwriter uses the ICCM WM_TAKE_FOCUS protocol to refuse the input focus when the window is activated. The patch implements this focus model within xmonad. If this works, please leave a comment in the issue. The more positive feedback on it, the quicker the patch can get into the official repository. Note that unlike the doIgnore "fix", xmonad is still managing the window so you can still use xmonad keybindings to manipulate the window (including by clicking the virtual keyboard)
