Resizing speed a major limitation to layout possibuilities
I find that the slow speed of window resizing is a major limiting factor in what layouts I can make. The Rolodex layout would have had the farther back windows be smaller, but firefox takes over a second to resize! Does anyone else have this problem? Is it something that is likely to go away as linux improves? I think that if this is as bad for others as it is for me, that the xmonad community should voice it's concerns about this limiting issue. -- - Tim tim.thelion@gmail.com

You're asking about why firefox takes up to a second to receive and process resize events? -- Don

I've found firefox to be completely unusable without the right video drivers. Otherwise, firefox on linux seems as responsive as it is on any other platform. Krishna

In some cases this is totally unavoidable: for example, irssi over SSH. An electron can only move so fast. - nornagon
