Re: [xmonad] Re: darcs patch: _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW moves windows if necessary

I'd like the option to use copy. I leave my IMs on 9 but would like to have the window copied to my current workspace until i dismiss it. However, this may be more appropriate as an urgency hook. On 4/2/08, Joachim Breitner wrote:

Wed Apr 2 16:38:11 CEST 2008 Joachim Breitner * _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW moves windows if necessary This makes EWMH behave a bit more like metacity: If _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW is received and the window is not on the current worspace, it is brought here (instead of the workspace switched to the other one). So for example, if you click on the pidgin icon in the panel and the buddy list is already open some where it is moved here.

I much prefer the old behaviour. Is it possible to make it configurable or something? Going to the window of interest makes more sense than it coming to you if it's already placed, since you already put it where you want it...

It might be made configurable, but not without considerable bloat. What is your actual use case, i.e., what window are you activating with what program?

I know that the behavior is debateable (and it should be debated), but the old behavior was unintentional and the the default (until we have dicussed something better) should match the behavior of other window managers.

Do other xmonad users have an opinion on that?

Greetings, Joachim
