Comment #3 on issue 168 by gwern0: gnome-panel with autohide enabled appears behind main windows http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=168 bogner suggested in #xmonad that the (relatively) new module Layout.Monitor might offer a way to hack around this issue. I can finally confirm that yes, it actually does. My modifications to my xmonad.hs looked like: hunk ./.xmonad/xmonad.hs 14 +import XMonad.Layout.Monitor (addMonitor, Property(ClassName)) hunk ./.xmonad/xmonad.hs 28 - , layoutHook = avoidStruts $ smartBorders (Full || | Mirror tiled ||| tiled ) + , layoutHook = hideGnome $ avoidStruts $ smartBorders $ (Full ||| Mirror tiled ||| tiled ) hunk ./.xmonad/xmonad.hs 37 + hideGnome = addMonitor (ClassName "gnome-panel") (Rectangle 0 0 0 0) hunk ./.xmonad/xmonad.hs 48 - className =? "Darwinia" --> unfloat ] + className =? "Darwinia" --> unfloat, + className =? "gnome-panel" --> doIgnore ] Follow that by a restart of gnome-panel, and one gets a nicely autohidden gnome-panel which slides up over one's tiled windows on request. I have no comments on bogner's patches, though. They may still be warranted even if one can hack around in this specific instance. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
