XMonadContrib.Tabbed

Hi guys, I just checked out the latest xmonad, X11-extras and XMonadContrib from darcs ( figured a fresh install was a good idea ). It's all working fine, except that when I move focus to a workspace, the tabs for that workspace lose all of their titles strings. The unfocused workspace is fine. I'm also not seeing the difference in colour between the active and inactive tabs ... Have I managed to grab code-in-transit, or is this a bug ? Cheers D

You'll want to upgrade; both are known, and fixed in the latest darcs, bugs. Stefan

My apologies, I was a bit too quick to the conclusion that your definition of "Just checked out" was the problem. BTW, darcs does have a concept of unique revision identifiers - see "darcs changes --context". However, the identifiers are *much* less compact than the version ID's used by subversion et al. As for your mailing list question, it is common practice (I do it) to Cc: all the other participants of the thread; the Haskell.org mailing list software does not by default send you messages if you are CC'd, to avoid duplicates. Perhaps your email client is configured to drop the direct message in the CC case - this would prevent any messages from arriving! Stefan

This is fixed in the latest version of Tabbed, which is not available on XMonadContrib, and requires a patch to xmonad core, which has yet to be accepted. -- David Roundy http://www.darcs.net

Further weirdness ensues, when I switch away from a tabbed workspace, and then back to it, I get the first tab in the stack again, instead of the "last active one". I'm also seeing a misalignment when I have onto one window open (the window extends to the full size of the screen, and I get a single tab header over the top of it, obscuring that top 10px or so).

When you darcs-got a few days ago, Tabbed was completely and utterly incompatible with Xinerama. The "weirdness" you describe is suprisingly *sane*. Stefan

Stefan, this is not a helpful reply. Dave already stated he 'just checked out latest xmonad'. Please try to be more helpful. Dave, best wait to see if someone can either reproduce it, or if one of the Tabbed.hs authors can fix it. -- Don

Seems like there's a second user, so if anyone can suggest a way to debug the behaviour let me know.

I see the same behavoir with a freshly updated checkout. I have two screens configured with Xinerama; if I use the tabbed layout, open two or more windows on the first, switch to the second, and open two or more windows there, the tabs on the second screen lose their text. If I switch focus back to the first screen, the second screen's tabs appear correctly but the first screen's disappear. Additionally, if I close all but one of the windows on a screen, I expect the tab bar to disappear, but it remains the same as it did before - no text - but the tabs overlap with the window, as if they've been drawn on the screen and forgotten. Closing the final window does not make them go away, nor does changing the workspace on that screen; however, the phantom tabs are in the background on that different workspace.

Yep, that matches my experience.

Yep, also seeing this.

I'd just use the core layouts until the contrib modules catch up, or are patched. -- Don
