Hi David, unfortunately this layout is broken due to an api change: Mon Jun 11 20:26:29 CEST 2007 Spencer Janssen * API CHANGE: Give doLayout a Stack rather than a flattened list

I'll be trying to fix it as soon as I understand what is actually doing...;-)

I've fixed it to compile (soon to be sent in) but it'll be more work to make it actually work again. :( Rather disappointing that as soon as I get a layout with which I can consider actually switching to use xmonad full-time it no longer works. It relied on subtleties of the raising and lowering of windows which apparently no longer work. In particular, the change in doLayout seems to have affected the stacking order of windows, with the result that tabbed sublayouts in combos no longer function properly. In fact, even the focussed window is no longer on top (often not even visible). :( I keep hoping we can actually have stacks of stacks, then this would be much easier. As it is, Combo emulates stacks of stacks by only implementing nested layouts. But nested layouts isn't enough, because each layout really needs to know which window is focussed in that layout--which is to say, a stack. -- David Roundy http://www.darcs.net
