This looks good. How does the startuphook differ from running code in main? It's easier for extensions to register hooks?
Well, the main reason is that this way, the startupHook can be run in
byorgey: the
X monad, AFTER xmonad has initialized all its state and so forth. Running code in main would only be able to run in IO.
Ah yes, good point. This is in now. Did you have contrib patches to follow?
We just talked about this on IRC, but for the benefit of others following the conversation -- it depends on the decision with regards to Andrea's recent patch to the core, to incorporate runLayout into the LayoutClass. If that is accepted, then we'll use his (much better) reimplementation of PerWorkspace, to make it work with xinerama. Otherwise, I have a (not quite as nice, but workable) patch to make PerWorkspace work using the startupHook. -Brent
