I've been trying to get a floating gnome-do without much success, I've never programmed haskell before so i'm just cutting and pasting other peoples xmonad.hs together!
this is what my xmonad.hs looks like (I don't have a haskell mode for emacs either hence the no doubt hideous indentation)
import XMonad import XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks import XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog
main = dzen $ \x -> xmonad $x { terminal = "terminal" , focusedBorderColor = "blue" , manageHook = myMHook <+> manageHook defaultConfig , layoutHook = avoidStruts $ layoutHook defaultConfig }
myMHook = composeAll . concat $ [ [manageDocks], [resource =? "Do.exe" --> doIgnore,
title =? "Downloads" --> doFloat ] ]
Obviously this doesnt work
I don't have Gnome so I can't just check it, but here's how you find the names used for a ManageHook. Run the app you want to check, then run xprop in a terminal. Click on the app's window, and then examine the output from xprop. About ten lines up the bottom will be a line like this: WM_CLASS(STRING) = "gecko", "Thunderbird-bin" The first field, "gecko", is the resource name, the second is the class name. So I could write a ManageHook for Thunderbird like this: resource =? "gecko" --> doFloat or like this class =? "Thunderbird-bin" --> doFloat Class names are usually better than resource names, as they tend to be unique more often. Braden Shepherdson shepheb
