[xmonad] Re: background applications

Once you have that up and running though, you might run into another issue. One that I haven't found any solution to yet. Some applications seem to minimise just fine under other WMs, but refuse to do so under xmonad. The only application I frequently use suffering from this is empathy. If you run into the same issue, and manage to solve it, then please pass on the information :-)

XMonad.Hooks.Minimize can handle how empathy minimizes. The problem is that empathy uses hints to minimize, rather than just hiding its own window.
