I think this is the default behavior only for "big windows". Dialogs (just tested with 'about Firefox') are not tiled. I would like all windows to be tiled -- even those that should be better left as non-tiled.

Others might correct me, but that seems to be core functionality, in XMonad/Operations.hs:

manage :: Window -> X ()

It drops a new window into the current screen, floating it if it's fixed-size or hinted as transient.

You should still be able to tile everything with a manageHook, something like return True --> (ask >>= doF . W.sink) Note the final line in the 'manage' action, 'windows (g . f)', which runs the user's ManageHook (g) *after* the built-in handling (f). -Brent
