I'm not 100% sure I understand what you're asking for. However, you
may find the following documentation relevant to your interests:
http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad/XMonad-StackSet.html#v%3AgreedyView (the
default action for workspace-changing keys)
http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad/XMonad-StackSet.html#v%3Aview
http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Layout-IndependentScreen...
If you do *not* find these documentations enlightening, perhaps you
can help us by giving very clear steps to reproduce the behavior you
see. My favorite format is, "I do X, expecting Y to happen, but Z
happens instead". =)

Dear Folks,
Thanks for a nice windowing system. (it's really just a ruse to get me to learn Haskell!)
I use two screens, and am used to the idea that on one pair of screens, I have windows open relating to one activity.
I would really like desktops to stay where they are, so I see just the ones I care about at one time. Unfortunately, it seems that when I change workspaces, I drag some other things with me as I go around, and I get horribly lost. I want to see the browser only when I press Meta-3 (and Meta-4, I think) for example, and when I press other key combinations, I go to those other workspaces, where I was doing something completely different. I seem to be chasing my emacs windows around the place, and things don't seem to stay where I put them.
Am I just confused, or is there a software solution to this problem? Or should I ask for a refund on that lobotomy?
Here is my xmonad.hs: import XMonad import XMonad.Hooks.DynamicLog import XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks import XMonad.Util.Run(spawnPipe) import XMonad.Util.EZConfig(additionalKeys) import System.IO
myManageHook = composeAll [ className =? "Gimp" --> doFloat , className =? "Vncviewer" --> doFloat ] main = do xmproc <- spawnPipe "xmobar" xmonad $ defaultConfig { terminal = "Terminal" , manageHook = manageDocks <+> myManageHook -- make sure to include myManageHook definition from above <+> manageHook defaultConfig , layoutHook = avoidStruts $ layoutHook defaultConfig , logHook = dynamicLogWithPP $ xmobarPP { ppOutput = hPutStrLn xmproc , ppTitle = xmobarColor "green" "" . shorten 50 } , modMask = mod4Mask -- Rebind Mod to the Windows key } `additionalKeys` [ ((mod4Mask .|. shiftMask, xK_z), spawn "xscreensaver-command -lock") , ((controlMask, xK_Print), spawn "sleep 0.2; scrot -s") , ((0, xK_Print), spawn "scrot") ]
I also am using xmobar. -- Nick Urbanik http://nicku.org 808-71011 nick.urbanik@optusnet.com.au GPG: 7FFA CDC7 5A77 0558 DC7A 790A 16DF EC5B BB9D 2C24 ID: BB9D2C24 I disclaim, therefore I am. _______________________________________________ xmonad mailing list xmonad@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/xmonad
