Re: [xmonad] Can avoidStruts stop working?

Thanks for testing and reminding. Now I'm a bit more sure that it's X.L.PerWorkspace bug. But I don't know how to fix existing code except some ugly workarounds. I'll think about it when I have more time. On Wednesday, March 9, 2016 8:30:51 AM MSK you wrote:

Bogdan I tested your theory about X.L.PerWorkspace bug. I completely commented that module out and used one layout for all my WS. Here is the lines of code i changed: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/davama/c380cb816a0b578f94ae/raw/da796fef7 2bd382bdea3b9f117ecb42728cf4052/xmonad.hs-without-perworkpace-module

The above change was tested with haskel xmonad 0.12 and with GIT xmonad. Interestingly with GIT xmonad, my avoidstruts breaks entirely for all WS.

Here is a screenshot of how the window clients look on my two visible workspaces upon login (using haskell xmonad): http://i.imgur.com/g8HW35g.png

This screen shot is taken after i do mod-shift-space per each visible WS: http://i.imgur.com/wBOO4qT.png

Please let me know if i can test something else.

Thanks

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

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, -Dave

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