[xmonad] Re: Issue 417 in xmonad: managehook use focused window to work on

Updates: Status: Invalid Comment #1 on issue 417 by vogt.adam: managehook use focused window to work on http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=417 The queries (title =? "xmessage") are run on the new window that triggered the manageHook to be run. So both lines match. The first (W.shift "2") moves the xmessage, and the next one moves your terminal. Get rid of one of your duplicate lines. You may be interested in XMonad.Hooks.ManageHelpers if you have cases that more subtly match multiple manageHooks.
