This way of matching skype main window is a bit old, it's done like this
because in the past it was not possible to match a UTF8 in withIM or
combineTwoP (which is now). Also new skype for linux (2.1) sets appropriate
roles to its windows which makes matching them a lot easier.
The 'role field' in xprop is WM_WINDOW_ROLE. In order to cut xprop crap I
have this alias set in my .bashrc
alias xprop='xprop -notype WM_CLASS WM_NAME WM_WINDOW_ROLE'

Hi Henrique,
the solution you offer doesn't work very well for me... After all i met another problem configuring the properties of skype in combineTwoP layout: i don't know if my brain produces a lot of crap, but xprop()ing skype's window I notice that
(ClassName "Skype") `And` (Not (Title "Options")) `And` (Not (Role "Chats")) `And` (Not (Role "CallWindowForm"))
aren't valid at all... With xprop I can't see any role filed... Anyway i take a shortcut, install skype4pidgin and rearrange the layout with a simple IM layout combined with a tabbed one. It should be fair enough, so i gain time to look over other XMonad's feature :-P. Thanks for your support! It wasn't wasted, because I play with all layouts you suggest ;-).
Cheers, ff0000 _______________________________________________ xmonad mailing list xmonad@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/xmonad
