Hey all,
I've been trying out the new tabbed layout and it was working really well for about 2 hours, then it suddenly just started killing my X for some reason.
What I was finding was that as soon as I switched screens my session would die (dropping me back to the gdm login page). It would also do this if I switched to a workspace > 5. Weird eh ?
I'm using the darcs head for contrib, xmonad and x11-extras, so I pulled the latest (again, just to be sure) for them and no updates. I'm also using Feisty Ubuntu as my OS if that makes any difference.
I rebuilt and reinstalled, no luck.
As soon as I dropped the tabbed module out and rebuilt/reinst xmonad it's all back to working again (albeit sans tabbing which I really REALLY miss now already :-) ).
Not being an X guru, and not very up on haskell, I'm not sure how to try and debug this ... can anyone suggest how I might try and track this problem down ?
You're not alone - #xmonad says:
18:16 < jcreigh> oh, joy: xmonad crashes. (bug in tabbed) 18:16 < jcreigh> I think it only affects Xinerama. 18:18 < sjanssen> huh? what business does tabbed have crashing? 18:18 < jcreigh> the bug seems to be: attempting to switch to an empty workspace while there is still a tabbed workspace visble makes xmonad die: "xmonad: No match in record selector StackSet.focus"
Yep, that matches my experience exactly.
