Hi, I've been an avid user of xmonad for a couple of weeks now and I love it. I used to play with ion and ratpoison ages ago and I found them too clunky and unnifinshed, while I am regularly using xmonad on both my laptop and work machine now and it works like magic! Well done guys (if only you choose a more bearable language to code it in... ;) ) Anyway, my problems are: a) gnuplot - after I plot something, the new window is shown and it shows the graph, but the cpu usage goes to 100% (shared between Xorg and xmonad). I then float it (by alt-mousing it away) and then putting it back (mod t) and then it works. Any idea what is going on? b) What is the status of edges in mplayer? Any news on that front? c) More importantly, what is the status of fullscreen in open office impress? I can sort of get it to work by floating it and then reszing it and then moving it around... But it is not ideal to do this just before you want to have a presentation in front of a large audience... I don't know the detail of wm inner workings, but I think that there should be a hook to give certain windows complete freedom on where they want to be...

One new xmonad user to another :-) I've noticed a similar case with VMWare Workstation and its fullscreen mode. Its “fullscreen” under xmonad ends up meaning no-menu-or-buttonbar-inside-its-xmonad-area, not really what I'd call fullscreen myself. I usually “fix” this by swapping through layouts until it's alone on the screen then I remove my Gnome panels. This is good enough but it'd be great if xmonad would be better at taking hints. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus．therning＠gmail．com http://therning.org/magnus What if I don't want to obey the laws? Do they throw me in jail with the other bad monads? -- Daveman

yes, up till now we've usually relied on the fullscreen tiling mode for fullscreen apps. However, there are many apps that want to set their own fullscreen functionality. Detecting this hint, and giving it the geometry it wants, is on the todo list.

This is probably a bug in gnuplot. I noticed a similar problem with xemacs as reported here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.xmonad/3650/focus=3652 So if your problem is similar, a temporary solution is to use XMonad.Layout.LayoutHints from the extension library: http://xmonad.org/contrib.html Make sure to file a bug report with gnuplot about it just like I did for xemacs: http://tracker.xemacs.org/XEmacs/its/issue310 The gnuplot bug tracker is here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=2055&atid=102055 Then hopefully it will be solved soon. regards, Bas
