Issue 27 in xmonad: Unmanaged windows should be able to be assigned to custom layout algorithms

Issue 27: Unmanaged windows should be able to be assigned to custom layout algorithms http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=27 Comment #1 by dons00: With line wrapping: In Xmonad, a window becomes unmanaged by having the override redirect flag set. This then means that the windows geometry, defined in .Xdefaults, is used. This is non-optimal when working with multiple resolutions on a regular basis. Laptops that are frequently plugged in to external monitors are screwed. It would be nice if we could have layout algorithms for the non-managed gaps as well as for the managed center. The gaps are rectangles afterall, and you could have a default layout of un-managed so that no functionalty would be changed, just added. More info please, Tim. What is the problem, how do we reproduce it? If its a feature request, clarify what precisely is desired.

The layout bit, I'm guessing might easily be addressed by making use of ScreenLayout to implement the gaps (which could also move gaps out of core, simplifying Operations slightly). -- David Roundy Department of Physics Oregon State University
