Issue 96: certain dialogs get dropped in gnucash http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=96
Comment #1 by jcreigh: This is definitely an xmonad bug, as the problem does not occur if Gnucash windows are ignored (with, eg, className =? "Gnucash" --> doIgnore)
I bet I know what this bug is (I;m assuming transient windows here): The window is being mapped and unmapped. If you were to use something like xscope then you might see that: a) Application sends a mapRequest. a1) Before xmonad has a chance to do that, the application asks to be put in the WithDrawn state (via a synthetic UnmapNotify event). b) The window is mapped. c) GNUCash sends a MapRequest. d) Another UnmapNotify request is sent and the window is UnMapped. e) The MapRequest from (c) is handled and a real UnMapNotify request is issued causing the window it close, never being mapped again. I'm guessing this is what's happening, but I don't run GnuCash. -- Thomas Adam
