Minor problem with fullscreen games and XMonad.Layout.NoBorders

I have the following layout hook, for getting things working with gnome-panel and so that fullscreen games don't get assigned a border: layoutHook = smartBorders $ ewmhDesktopsLayout $ avoidStruts $ layoutHook defaultConfig Then I have the following in my manage hook: title =? "Brood War" --> doFloat This mostly works, my fullscreen games are fullscreen as they should be and there is no border. UNLESS, I am on a workspace where no other windows are open. Then the border still appears. So to play my game, I open an empty terminal, then launch it. That way there are no borders. But if the game is the only window, the border is still there. Anyway to fix that and/or is this a bug?

This looks like [1], which is fixed in darcs, not sure whether it got included into 0.8.1. 1. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=223 -- Roman I. Cheplyaka (aka Feuerbach @ IRC) http://ro-che.info/docs/xmonad.hs

By the way, documentation for 'redoLayout' seems to be inaccurate. -- | 'redoLayout' allows you to intercept a call to 'runLayout' on -- workspaces with at least one window, /after/ it is called on ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ (and later: On empty workspaces, the Stack is Nothing.) Maybe I missed something? -- Roman I. Cheplyaka (aka Feuerbach @ IRC) http://ro-che.info/docs/xmonad.hs
