Quoting Toby Cubitt
When I enter letters in Cellwriter and hit the "Enter" button, the input doesn't seem to go anywhere. As I could figure out, the output is supposed to go to the ACTVIVE (focused) window. When you use it with Xmonad, the Cellwriter's window is focused all the time! In e.g. XFCE the Cellwriter's window is never Yes, that sounds about right. At the back of my mind, I've always vaguely wondered how Cellwriter manages to accept input without grabbing the focus, but not knowing much about low-level X windows programming I never tried to figure it out.
What happens if, rather than doFloat, you doIgnore to prevent xmonad from managing that window? ~d
