in my xmonad.hs I have: -- manage hook - when new clients appear floatAll = composeAll . map (\s -> className =? s --> doFloat) myManageHook = floatAll ["Gimp", "Wine", "vlc", "MPlayer", "VLC (XVideo output)"] <+> manageDocks <+> (isFullscreen --> doFullFloat)
MPlayer and gimp are floated perfectly. VLC is not. Why not?
Several possible reasons: 1) That isn't the correct classname for VLC 2) That isn't the classname that VLC has when it starts (and then changes its classname once the GUI is created, etc.) Possible solution: try using the resource (the first value from "xprop | grep WM_CLASS") instead of the classname.
Also, is there a way to generally float dialogs?
