Floating window with respected size hint (xmonad 0.10)
Hi all, I tried it with this minimal xmonad config: main = xmonad $ defaultConfig {manageHook = composeAll [className =? "xclock" --> doFloat]} Is there something missing? Greetings, Daniel

What did you do? What happened? What did you expect to happen?
Greetings, Daniel

Starting xclock from a shell, I expected getting a floating xclock window with its default size, but the window I got was just put in the current active layout.

Well, I used the wrong string, xprop for xclock returns: ~> xprop|grep WM_CLASS WM_CLASS(STRING) = "xclock", "XClock" If I'm using "XClock" instead of "xclock", then it works as expected. Greetings, Daniel

I use the script in the XMonad FAQ[1] and most times it works without issues :). [1]: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Frequently_asked_questions#A_handy...

Class names almost always start with an uppercase letter; this is "always" for Xt-based stuff like xclock. so your rule doesn't match. Use "Xclock" instead of "xclock". (For historical reasons, WM_CLASS is not a list of classes, it is a list of [appName, className]. Always use the second string reported by "xprop WM_CLASS". Or see the window properties script in xmonad-contrib's scripts directory.) -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix/linux, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure http://sinenomine.net

At least here, xclock has WM_CLASS = "xclock", "XClock" which corresponds to appName =? "xclock" or className =? "XClock". ~d
