Hy, the scratchpad has a big problem: As soon as some console-applications (like mutt, mocp) change the title of the terminal xmonad looses the scratchpad and starts a new one. This is because XMonad tries to find the scratchpad using the title which is imho not a good idea for reasons mentioned above. I tried to change this by using "-name" instead of "-title" as parameter for the terminal. This also adds a new WM_CLASS to the window named like the parameter. This Class doesnt change if a application changes the title so xmonad could match on this. I tried both urxvt and xterm, they both behave the same way: if you supply "-name scratchpad" on the comandline a new WM_CLASS named "scratchpad" is added to the window. I tried to change it on my own by changing the commandline (this worked without a problem) and then exchange the "scratchpadQuery" with scratchpadQuery = className =? "scratchpad" This doesnt work, the managehook doesnt find the window, so something is wrong. As I got no haskell knowledge debugging is difficult, so perhaps somebody can help me. I checked the scratchpad-window using xprop and i DOES have the scratchpad-class, so the Query is somehow wrong. Who can help me? Thanks -- Dominik Bruhn mailto: dominik@dbruhn.de
