startupHook setWMName and ewmhDesktops
Hi all, In xmonad 0.9 both setWMName and ewmhDesktops sets startupHook. The problem is that I don't know how to use them together. I've tried like it was with logHook in 0.8, but it doesn't work. , startupHook = ewmhDesktopsStartup >> setWMName "LG3D" Thanks, Henrique G. Abreu ps: Also there's no config example about this in whole xmonad documentation. Not in emwmDesktops, SetWMName or "extending xmonad hooks" (linked everywhere for detailed instructions). faq has a todo on this: http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Frequently_asked_questions#Using_SetWM...

That is the startup hook one should use. Please describe what you mean by "doesn't work". Spencer Janssen
Sorry for not being clear at the first time.
If I use startupHook like this:
, startupHook = setWMName "LG3D"
Java apps work normally, but if I set it like proposed:
, startupHook = ewmhDesktopsStartup >> setWMName "LG3D"
and attempt to run java apps, I get the "grey blobs" instead of app window,
just as if not using setWMName workaround.

Henrique, I'm sorry you're having trouble with this. What you are showing here is the intended way, and works for me with netbeans, however, that's really the only java app I run which I can make grey blobs without setWMName. i.e. , startupHook = ewmhDesktopsStartup >> setWMName "LG3D" should work fine. Please include your xmonad.hs somewhere on pastebin or attached, and which apps are giving the grey blobs. With netbeans, not using setWMName causes blobbing. What works is either of the methods shown on the faq, i.e. the >> one above, or using the new 'ewmh' modifier like: main = do -- stuff xmonad $ ewmh defaultConfig { modMask = mod4Mask -- handleEventHook and logHook without Ewmh hooks , startupHook = setWMName "LG3D" } Yes, it will be good to add such examples to EwmhDesktops and SetWMName documentation. thanks, -- wmw
