Re: [xmonad] xmonad & opera dialogs

I figured out what the problem is: when installing opera with gtk (to have a nice "download dialog") the problems occurs. When not using that gtk stuff the dialogs have the right size. Bad :/ Felix On 14. October 2010 - 21:58, Felix Blanke wrote:

Btw: That happens also with the example xmonad.hs file which comes with xmonad.

Hi,

Thx for your reply.

I'm using opera 10.63 (since today, the problem also exist with 10.62 and some earlier). Distro is gentoo.

I can resize the dialog boxes the way I want to. The size varies like every time. Sometimes the size is ok, sometimes it is to small (if opera is on one of my small screens, 1200x1600) and sometimes it is way to big (>5000 pixel).

I have 3 screens here, 1200x1600, 2560x1600 and 1200x1600. I'm not 100% sure but the big download dialog only occurs since I added the third monitor (1200x1600). Before there were only the small boxes on the 1200x1600 screen.

If I resize one box the next time the box has a different size, seems to be random.

I'm not sure if I would like to tile all dialogs. What would be the config part for that?

Btw: That doesn't hapen in other programs. I'm not using a lot programs with GUI, but for example firefox don't have that problem at my computer.

Regards, Felix

I use Opera with xmonad 0.9 and I have never noticed a problem with dialog sizes. I don’t use a password, but the download dialogs and all other dialogs are appropriately sized. What version of Opera are you running? I’m running the latest under Arch Linux, but I didn’t have any trouble under Ubuntu several years ago either. What distro are you using?

Can you resize the dialog boxes? If you do so, do new dialogs open with the new size or still with the incorrect size?

Is this an intermittent problem, i.e., do some download dialogs open with the correct size and some are too large? Do the same dialogs always have the same incorrect sizes or do they vary?

When dialog boxes in other applications open in a size I don’t like, I often press Mod+T to tile the dialog box. (I’ve considered modifying my config to automatically tile all dialog boxes, like ion3 used to.) If you can’t fix it any other way, tiling missized dialog boxes is an easy workaround. _______________________________________________ xmonad mailing list xmonad@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/xmonad ---end quoted text--- ---end quoted text--- ---end quoted text---
