Isn't 'unfloat' the same as 'sink'? unfloatFocused seems useful. Do you have some examples of how people are using it? gwern0:

Sat May 2 14:26:31 EDT 2009 gwern0@gmail.com * Config.hs, Operations.hs: +unfloat, unfloatFocused functions 'unfloat' is the obvious inverse of the existing 'float' function, and so makes the API a little more rational. 'unfloatFocused' is easy once you have unfloat, and more importantly, is defined in

20 user configs; so obviously there's a need!

Rather than make spawned processes become children of init, we handle them in xmonad. As a side effect of this change, we never need to use waitForProcess in any contrib module -- in fact, doing so will raise an exception. The main benefit to handling SIGCHLD is that xmonad can now be started with 'exec', and will correctly clean up after inherited child processes. ] [More flexible userCode function Daniel Schoepe **20090110221852] [Call logHook as the very last action in windows Spencer Janssen **20081209233700 Ignore-this: 4396ad891b607780f8e4b3b6bbce87e ] [Main.hs: escape / in Haddocks gwern0@gmail.com**20081207020915 Ignore-this: 2c4525280fbe73c46f3abd8fc13628e9 This lets haddocks for Main.hs, at least, to build with 2.3.0. ] [Accept inferior crossing events.
