Hi, I'm currently using xmonad 0.8.1 compiled with ghc-6.8.3 on NetBSD 5.0.1 i386, after migrating from FreeBSD i386. After building all the software I needed/wanted, including Firefox and Pidgin, I noticed that not all windows where sent to the right workspace I configured them for. I noticed (or at least I thought) that some xprops changed, and I edited myManageHook to contain: myManageHook = composeAll [ title =? "Buddy List" --> doF (W.shift "9") , className =? "Gran Paradiso" --> doF (W.shift "8") ] (And some more, of course...) This has some interesting side effect, because every time I start either Firefox or Pidgin and their window appear on workspace 8 or 9, the window that has the focus is sent to exactly the same workspace, too. Commenting out both entries fixed this issue. Since they aren't needed (which is a perfect example of why working on a computer when being tired is a bad idea) this is just a minor issue. But I wonder if this behavior due to the nature of composeAll or something in Haskell I'm unfamiliar with (which is, at present, most of the language). Regards Christian Walther
