Re: [xmonad] Can avoidStruts stop working?

5 Mar 2016

      Thank you for the pointer. Ill test without it and report soon.

As far as clearer explanation, this is the order of operations as they happen:
1. Login into computer or restart xmonad (mod-q)
2. Xmonad starts but docks is not respected on all visible workspaces
3. Use my current solution (mod+shift+space) 
4. Docks begin to be respected.
5. Move on with life

Hope this is better.
Thank you for the continual support!
Really enjoy xmonad

I tried adding `dockStartupHook` to `myStartupHook` but no change. so i

nothing different, avoidStruts not working.
how it currently looks in my xmonad.hs file:
[code]
(....... (setLayout =<< asks (XMonad.layoutHook . config)) >>
docksStartupHook)
.......
myStartupHook = do
docksStartupHook
      ......
.....
main = do
....
, startupHook = composeAll [
myStartupHook
, docksStartupHook
                       .....
[/code]
Just to reiterate, xmonad 0.12 from GIT allows me to reset the layout but
avoidstruts does not work.
Same xmonad.hs code but w/o docksStartupHook under xmonad 0.12 from
haskell, still allows me to reset the layout but also respects docs
(avoidstruts) if and only if I reset the layout (mod-shift-space) on all
"visible" workspaces after an xmonad start/restart. "Non-visible"
workspaces seem to work fine, avoidstruts works when spawning a window
client; as does reset layout.
My understanding is that GIT is now the "darcs" version of xmonad (aka
development version). That being the case, I can live for now under haskell
xmonad with the annoyance of (mod-shift-space) upon xmonad start/restart.
It's no biggy. I'll deal with it once GIT gets pushed to haskell (unless we
abandoning haskell).
Hope all this makes sense.
Thanks again for assistance,

Add `docksStartupHook` to both your action on mod-shift-space and your
startup
hook(because you restore initial layout state before restart).

Are you speaking about action on some hotkey instead of `setLayout =<<

(layoutHook . config)` or something else? If first then I dunno what's

can you give the whole config?
