Hi, I use this manageHook: mh = ( ask >>= doF . sink ) It works well except for a single application ('netgen', which uses a widget set that I can't identify). When it opens a dialog window, everything starts to flash (like if black and white lights were alternating fast). My wild guess is that when my manageHook changes a widget parameter (size?) the widget reacts changing it back, and I get an infinite loop. Do you think I could improve my manageHook to solve that? Thanks for your comments, Maurício

There are a few options: 1. don't sink such windows Find a X11 property to identify it with xprop, then only sink such windows that don't match that predicate: > mh = fmap not (className =? "netgen") --> (ask >>= doF . sink) 2. use a layout that respects hints If the window presents hints as to its desired size, using a hinted layout (or LayoutHints) might prevent such behavior with the original hook too. 3. fix the app That application should accept alternate window sizes (ICCM? violation), without behaving so strangely.
