Have you tried it? It is not a separate treatment. The issue is that, in dwm, when the rule is applied, full screened mplayer, got by pressing `f', is _correctly_ positioned on the screen, borders _outside_ of the screen. On the contrary, what you can get from a floating full screened mplayer in xmonad is top and left borders on the edge of the screen and you need to move the mplayer window up and left 1 pixel manually to achieve what dwm does automatically.

I'm no expert on window manager. Hope the above description is informative enough.

Oh! How about we just have a manageHook that sets the desired geometry?

A geometry that offsets the border? I played with the borders months ago, but it remains a mystery to me. Or it can be generalized to set more app specific properties. But I've no idea how to implement it. Xiao-Yong -- c/* __o/* <\ * (__ */\ <
