Another approach, of course, would be to simply call an external program that displays the workspace name and then vanishes. It's a little hokey, but I suspect kdialog could do it pretty nicely. Actually, a simple
spawn "kdialog --passivepopup \"" ++ string ++ "\" 1"
ought to do the trick. It's less easily configurable (except by kde users), and requires that kdialog be installed, but it's pretty simple.
I just pushed a version of ShowWName which uses denz to display to workspace name. dzen is probably the most common application among xmonad users. Hope it can be useful for someone. Andrea
