Sorry gmail decided to send my email while I was halfway through
writing it - I tried using xprop and the WM_CLASS output is something
like /usr/lib/gnome-do/Do.exe for both the resource and class names.
Adding class =? "/usr/lib/gnome-do/Do.exe" --> doFloat didn't work..
can I add doFloat to the Do.exe -> doIgnore in my xmonad.hs somehow
(Do.exe -> doIgnore is also for gnomedo, no idea what it does but it
was mentioned in another post i found on this list and is needed for
the key presses to work I think)

I've been trying to get a floating gnome-do without much success, I've never programmed haskell before so i'm just cutting and pasting other peoples xmonad.hs together!
this is what my xmonad.hs looks like (I don't have a haskell mode for emacs either hence the no doubt hideous indentation)
import XMonad import XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks import XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog
main = dzen $ \x -> xmonad $x { terminal = "terminal" , focusedBorderColor = "blue" , manageHook = myMHook <+> manageHook defaultConfig , layoutHook = avoidStruts $ layoutHook defaultConfig }
myMHook = composeAll . concat $ [ [manageDocks], [resource =? "Do.exe" --> doIgnore,
title =? "Downloads" --> doFloat ] ]
Obviously this doesnt work
I don't have Gnome so I can't just check it, but here's how you find the names used for a ManageHook. Run the app you want to check, then run xprop in a terminal. Click on the app's window, and then examine the output from xprop. About ten lines up the bottom will be a line like this:
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "gecko", "Thunderbird-bin"
The first field, "gecko", is the resource name, the second is the class name. So I could write a ManageHook for Thunderbird like this:
resource =? "gecko" --> doFloat
or like this
class =? "Thunderbird-bin" --> doFloat
Class names are usually better than resource names, as they tend to be unique more often.
