[xmonad] Issue 524 in xmonad: fine-grained restoring of layout state

Status: New Owner: vogt.a...@gmail.com Labels: Type-Enhancement Usability New issue 524 by vogt.a...@gmail.com: fine-grained restoring of layout state http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=524 If the 'a' stays the same but the user changes the layout 'b', such that it cannot be read for layouts: onWorkspace "1" a b a ||| b Currently the whole layout will be reset to whatever the default is. It is possible to use the 'a'. For example using template haskell: https://github.com/liskin/liskin-xmonad-conf/blob/master/lib/XMonad/Layout/F... Perhaps there's a way to do it without issues such as: - complicated code - template haskell - breaking all code that has `import XMonad'
