I would definitely try this when at work - not talking about having it accepted. It gets pretty annoying if you have 3-head setup, working on screen 3 and get floating windows opened on screen 1...

When opening new floating windows on a multihead display, they will often unpredictably appear on a different screen to the one that currently has focus. Example:

Bind a key to run 'gmrun'. Run gmrun from one screen and take note of which screen it appears on. Switch to another screen and do the same thing. gmrun will generally appear on the same screen each time.

This seems unpredictable to me. I think new windows should always appear on the current workspace (unless it's transient perhaps). This allows me to, for example, choose which screen a new window appears on by switching to it first. In the current situation, I have to somehow remember where X prefers to launch an application and try to arrange my workspaces and screens such that the application will appear in the right location.

This patch makes new float windows appear on the current screen as I think they should. The contrib patch makes contrib compatible with this change.

I've undone some of the floating layer work in this patch. It seems the floating layer stuff was written explicitly to support the current way of placing floating windows. If there were good reasons for this functionality, please convince me my patch does the wrong thing. Otherwise, I think this patch has the benefit of being more predictable and simpler in code.

Thanks. I'll take a look when I get a chance. Don Stewart wrote:

Oh, I thought we talked about this? Hmm -- you should hang out on the irc channel :)

There were a number of issues, but the main thing is that moving clients from one screen to another no longer caused the window to attach to the new screen.

Instead, the window would wobble and get dragged back to the first workspace. So while I liked the general idea, we need to tweak it so that you can still move clients to new screens -- it should just be popup windows that get constrained to the current screen.

See these bug reports filed after we first applied the patch,

http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=159 http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=160 http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=161

This patch was previously applied but now seems to have disappeared in the latest darcs xmonad. Does anyone know what happened?

Robert wrote:

...

When opening new floating windows on a multihead display, they will often unpredictably appear on a different screen to the one that currently has focus. Example:

Bind a key to run 'gmrun'. Run gmrun from one screen and take note of which screen it appears on. Switch to another screen and do the same thing. gmrun will generally appear on the same screen each time.

This seems unpredictable to me. I think new windows should always appear on the current workspace (unless it's transient perhaps). This allows me to, for example, choose which screen a new window appears on by switching to it first. In the current situation, I have to somehow remember where X prefers to launch an application and try to arrange my workspaces and screens such that the application will appear in the right location.

This patch makes new float windows appear on the current screen as I think they should. The contrib patch makes contrib compatible with this change.

I've undone some of the floating layer work in this patch. It seems the floating layer stuff was written explicitly to support the current way of placing floating windows. If there were good reasons for this functionality, please convince me my patch does the wrong thing. Otherwise, I think this patch has the benefit of being more predictable and simpler in code.

Applied, let's see if anyone notices. robreim:

I think the attached patch should provide the functionality of the original patch without the bugs. Perhaps someone who saw the bugs in the last patch could test to confirm that they don't exist in this one.

Thanks

Oh, I thought we talked about this? Hmm -- you should hang out on the irc channel :)

There were a number of issues, but the main thing is that moving clients from one screen to another no longer caused the window to attach to the new screen.

Instead, the window would wobble and get dragged back to the first workspace. So while I liked the general idea, we need to tweak it so that you can still move clients to new screens -- it should just be popup windows that get constrained to the current screen.

See these bug reports filed after we first applied the patch,

http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=159 http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=160 http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=161

which were fixed when reverting it.

It does not have the same bugs. I am able to move windows from screen to screen with both the mouse and keyboard.

Wonderful, thanks for checking that lithis. Rob, good work -- and I'm surprised how short the code now is :) -- Don
