Updates: Summary: xmonad does not manage docks and other windows that have been 'doIgnored' Status: Accepted Labels: Priority-Low Type-Defect Comment #1 on issue 344 by SpencerJanssen: xmonad does not manage docks and other windows that have been 'doIgnored' http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=344 This has been an issue waiting to happen for quite some time now. Docks are currently "managed" by doIgnore, which means that xmonad is completely unaware of the windows. This has several symptoms: * xmonad doesn't maintain a proper stacking order of these windows, meaning that we can't guarantee where dock, desktop and regular client windows stack in relation to each other * it is difficult to give keyboard focus to docks and the like * the issue in the original report, not all clients are listed in the stacking window prop I've been considering adding a component to xmonad that acts as an intermediary between xmonad's high level domain (StackSet and layout algorithms) and X. This component would be able to manage these windows that don't go in StackSet. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
