Hey Lara, hmm, you're correct, I noticed the same behaviour here. All windows from the workspace on the "laptop screen" and all from the "external screen" are listed as being on the currently active workspace, depending on "where my mouse cursor is". And yes, I also think this particular code snippet is responsible for this behaviour. Anyway, does this cause any problems? I haven't noticed any by now.

While googling for a solution I came across this bit of code in XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops:
-- Per window Desktop -- To make gnome-panel accept our xinerama stuff, we display -- all visible windows on the current desktop. forM_ (W.current s : W.visible s) $ \x -> forM_ (W.integrate' (W.stack (W.workspace x))) $ \win -> do setWindowDesktop win curr

Might this be why wmctrl reports all windows as being in the currently active workspace when I have Xorg running with two screens?
thank you for any insight ~l

Hello,
When I run wmctrl -l, it lists all my windows as being on the same workspace (workspace 0):
0x03600005 0 ubuntu l@ubuntu: ~ 0x02a000a3 0 ubuntu Mozilla Firefox 0x03a000a3 0 ubuntu Inbox - Local Folders - Mozilla Thunderbird
However, when I run wmctrl -d it "knows" xmonad is using 7 workspaces named "1" through "7":
0 * DG: N/A VP: N/A WA: N/A 1 1 - DG: N/A VP: N/A WA: N/A 2 2 - DG: N/A VP: N/A WA: N/A 3 3 - DG: N/A VP: N/A WA: N/A 4 4 - DG: N/A VP: N/A WA: N/A 5 5 - DG: N/A VP: N/A WA: N/A 6 6 - DG: N/A VP: N/A WA: N/A 7
How can I get wmctrl to play nicely with xmonad? From searching the web I thought this would do the trick:
import XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops
main = do xmonad $ ewmh gnomeConfig { modMask = mod4Mask , manageHook = manageDocks manageHook defaultConfig , workspaces = myWorkspaces , normalBorderColor = "#cccccc" , focusedBorderColor = "#cd8b00" , borderWidth = 3 , layoutHook = showWName myLayout , logHook = ewmhDesktopsLogHook <+> dynamicLogXinerama , handleEventHook = ewmhDesktopsEventHook } `additionalKeysP` myKeys
but wmctrl still says all windows are on workspace 0.
thank you for any help ~l
