Issue 382 in xmonad: fontforge should by default open stacked
Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 382 by artistenator: fontforge should by default open stacked http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=382 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. open up fontforge 2. 3. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? gimp automatically opens in stacking mode, as that is gimp's natural environment. fontforge, which has a similar interface, should too. instead xmonad tiles it. Please use labels and text to provide additional information. If this error is due to a module from XMonadContrib, please tag this issue with 'Component-Contrib' below. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Comment #1 on issue 382 by ivan.miljenovic: fontforge should by default open stacked http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=382 The GIMP is automatically floated for most people because the default config has special-cased the GIMP and MPlayer in its ManageHook: http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/xmonad/0.9.1/doc/html/src/XMonad... Is Fontforge really that popular/well used that it needs to be added to the default config? Should we track down every possible application that decides that multiple windows are a cool thing to do and special case them as well? -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.

Comment #2 on issue 382 by daniel.wagner: fontforge should by default open stacked http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=382 More to the point, you can fix this problem for yourself by changing your own manage hook to include a special case for FontForge.

If there's other programs that obviously should be treated some way - like
gimp and mplayer, should they (easily) get added to the special cases?

There are _heaps_ of applications that work better floated than tiled. My point was that why should we put every single one of them into the defaults, especially if it isn't a popular program? It's easy enough to add them to your own config that I fail to see the need (arguably we don't even need the GIMP and MPlayer in there). -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
Updates: Status: WontFix Comment #3 on issue 382 by byorgey: fontforge should by default open stacked http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=382 Marking WontFix, we definitely aren't going to add another special case to the default config.
