Issue 238: Layout.Monitor leaves Cairo-clock in tiling layer, causes windows to flicker randomly http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=238 New issue report by aleks.dimitrov: What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Use a minimal XMonad.hs, something like:
import XMonad import XMonad.Layout.Monitor
myLayout = addMonitor (ClassName "Cairo-clock" `And` Title "MacSlow's Cairo-Clock") (Rectangle (1400-150) (1050-150) 150 150) (XMonad.Tall 1 (1/2) (3/100))
main = do xmonad $ defaultConfig { layoutHook = myLayout }
2. Recompile XMonad, launch cairo-clock 3. Try to move around workspaces and windows What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I'd expect the clock just to sit there in the lower right corner of my desktop. Instead, it has its own window: http://omploader.org/veG55 When I move away from the workspace I launched cairo-clock on, everything shows up fine, but hovering the clock's window with the mouse pointer causes the focus to rapidly switch. Windows start to flicker, the whole desktop becomes unusable for about two seconds or so. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Arch Linux, current darcs version, cairo-clock is 0.3.4, cairo is 1.8.2-1, ghc is 6.8.2. Please provide any additional information below. Everytime I switch back to cairo-clock's original birth-workspace, it shows up in the upper left corner of its window in its original size (150x150) and then expands to the ugly ellipsoid you can see in the screenshot. This error also occurs with main xmonad.hs.
