Hello,

When I run wmctrl -l, it lists all my windows as being on the same workspace (workspace 0):

0x03600005 0 ubuntu l@ubuntu: ~ 0x02a000a3 0 ubuntu Mozilla Firefox 0x03a000a3 0 ubuntu Inbox - Local Folders - Mozilla Thunderbird

However, when I run wmctrl -d it "knows" xmonad is using 7 workspaces named "1" through "7":

0 * DG: N/A VP: N/A WA: N/A 1 1 - DG: N/A VP: N/A WA: N/A 2 2 - DG: N/A VP: N/A WA: N/A 3 3 - DG: N/A VP: N/A WA: N/A 4 4 - DG: N/A VP: N/A WA: N/A 5 5 - DG: N/A VP: N/A WA: N/A 6 6 - DG: N/A VP: N/A WA: N/A 7

How can I get wmctrl to play nicely with xmonad? From searching the web I thought this would do the trick:

import XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops

main = do xmonad $ ewmh gnomeConfig { modMask = mod4Mask , manageHook = manageDocks manageHook defaultConfig , workspaces = myWorkspaces , normalBorderColor = "#cccccc" , focusedBorderColor = "#cd8b00" , borderWidth = 3 , layoutHook = showWName myLayout , logHook = ewmhDesktopsLogHook <+> dynamicLogXinerama , handleEventHook = ewmhDesktopsEventHook } `additionalKeysP` myKeys

but wmctrl still says all windows are on workspace 0.

thank you for any help ~l

New subject: "wmctrl -l" lists all my windows as being on the same workspace (0)

Hey Lara, hmm, you're correct, I noticed the same behaviour here. All windows from the workspace on the "laptop screen" and all from the "external screen" are listed as being on the currently active workspace, depending on "where my mouse cursor is". And yes, I also think this particular code snippet is responsible for this behaviour. Anyway, does this cause any problems? I haven't noticed any by now.

New subject: "wmctrl -l" lists all my windows as being on the same workspace (0)

Hi Tobias,

...

Anyway, does this cause any problems? I haven't noticed any by now.

Well, I would like to feed the output of "wmctrl -l" into an applet that would tell me which windows are on which workspace(s). This pretty much breaks any hope of getting that information precisely when it is most useful (ie, when one is using a multi-head setup and is likely to do even greater use of all the different workspaces). I am pretty confident this worked fine in 0.9, because I used the Gnome Windows Selector back then and it could tell me on which workspace each window was. best ~l ----- Original Message ----- From: Tobias Hommel To: Lara Michaels Cc: "xmonad@haskell.org" Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2012 4:09 PM Subject: Re: [xmonad] "wmctrl -l" lists all my windows as being on the same workspace (0) Hey Lara, hmm, you're correct, I noticed the same behaviour here.

New subject: "wmctrl -l" lists all my windows as being on the same workspace (0)

Hey Lara, ah, that is a reason. So, either copy and modify the relevant code for your personal config, or make the gnome-panel hack optional and send a patch upstream, or maybe you could somehow tell XMonad to write the info elsewhere, e.g. to window properties. Although I would prefer the second method. The behaviour of the EWMH Module is obviously wrong. On Wed, Jun 27, 2012 at 08:17:11AM -0700, Lara Michaels wrote:
