Hi,

I am using ManageHook to assign windows to workspaces; however, sometimes I tend to move the window to other workspace and after that happens, any dialog/child window  of this window appears in the original assigned workspace and not in the new workspace.

Is there a way to fix / workaround this?

Hi Raghavendra,

If you run xprop on the dialog windows you find a property like: WM_TRANSIENT_FOR(WINDOW): window id # 0x7c00006

If that's the case, you can use the transience' defined in XMonad.Hooks.ManageHelpers, putting it as the left-most managehook (that is, manageHook = composeAll [ transience' , className =? "a" --> doShift "b", ... ] )

http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Hooks-ManageHelpers.html

Thanks, I had tried transience before, albeit for a different purpose I think, let me give it a shot again. Thanks.
