Issue 107 in xmonad: Floating windows cause combo-boxes and other widgets in applications to faill.

Issue 107: Floating windows cause combo-boxes and other widgets in applications to faill. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=107 New issue report by thomas.adam22: What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Have some windows in the floating layer on the same workspace/screen as, say, Firefox. 2. Try and use a drop-down menu in said browser either with or without the floating windows present. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Sometimes (often randomly) the drop-down menu will be unusable. I would expect it to Just Work, but it's as if it is sent to the wrong layer. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? xmonad-darcs (but observed in xmonad 0.5 and 0.4.1). Please provide any additional information below. I suspect this to be related to the floating window support absolute. More likely, it's related to the fact that the floating layer has absolutely no concept of stacking/layer support (as mentioned in the ICCCM), such that when a *widget* of an application is mapped, it is somehow susceptible to this. But this is bad, widgets in this sense have no part in window management.
