scratchpads = [ NS "calendar" "urxvt -name calendar -e task calendar" (title =? "calendar") ] where name = stringProperty "WM_NAME"
(1) the "where name = ..." isn't doing anything here (2) You're missing the target rectangle for the scratchpad (whether to make a tiled window, a standard floating window, or a custom floating window). That's the source of the type error. Compare to my earlier pastebinned example: myScratchpads = [NS "calendar" "xterm -title calendar -hold -e task calendar" (title =? "calendar") -- I don't know screen or font size so this is a very rough guess at the RationalRect (customFloating $ W.RationalRect 0 (1/10) (4/10) (3/10)) ] You're missing the customFloating part, or a replacement for it (nonFloating, defaultFloating) that tells it what to do with the window when it's created. (That's the "ManageHook" it's complaining about.) -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
