Excerpts from Kathryn Andersen's message of Thu Apr 09 06:25:26 -0600 2009:
I don't want Gimp to start floating, but it always does. This is my manage hook: .... As you can see, I do not apply a doFloat to Gimp, so I would have thought that it wouldn't start in floating mode, but it always does. What do I have to do to force it to be tiled?
Are you perhaps using in your defaultConfig the following? , manageHook = myManageHook <+> manageHook defaultConfig The default manageHook floats Gimp and Mplayer iirc. So for us tiled Gimp lovers it's probably nicest to just use `manageHook = myManageHook' and add Mplayer hook to myManageHook if wanted. As apology for the trouble, some bonus gimp tips including example of floating tool windows like levels, etc. : ;-) http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/General_xmonad.hs_config_tips#Gimp -- wmw
