For workspaces, consider XMonad.Layout.PerWorkspace.
Thanks for the tip. The documentation is confusing to me - some places '|||' is used to combine things, other places it isn't. Anyway, this is what I tried first: , layoutHook = avoidStruts $ layoutHook defaultConfig ||| modWorkspace "3" stoppable (layoutHook defaultConfig) which doesn't seem to work, as the browser running on workspace 3 (mod-3 takes me there), keeps using 5-8% CPU according to top when another workspace is active. Taking the example from the XMonad.Layout.Stoppable directly: , layoutHook = layoutHook defaultConfig ||| stoppable (layoutHook defaultConfig) doesn't stop the programs on the other workspaces either, so I guess I've misunderstood something fundamental :-) (This on Debian unstable, Linux 4.6.1, xmonad, X11, xmonad-contrib from git.)
