Does anyone have a config that'll make Gnome Do appear floating?

I'm having problems finding its WM_CLASS or WM_NAME and at the moment it is a bit intrusive when it pops up.

Maybe you can rather ask them to make their dialog a transitive window. I assume this is a similar case as with pinentry-gtk2. See this bug report for an example patch and explanation for upstream:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=445607 https://bugs.g10code.com/gnupg/issue885 I believe it's worse than that. This is the behaviour under Metacity:

Activate GnomeDo using its hot-key. Start typing and it completes based on previous usage (I believe). If you aren't happy with that you can press down-arrow to get a drop down where you can choose other "nouns". You can choose using either the mouse or the arrow keys to navigate it. Press tab to switch focus to the "verb", press down to get a drop down to choose another. Under Xmonad the drop-downs are unresponsive to up and down keys. They won't even go away when choosing something with the mouse. The only way I've found is to click the little triangle in the top-right corner and choose "Exit". I ended up removing GnomeDo altogether, IMNSHO it's simply too broken to be used. /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?

I tried this - and it used to work - but adding it to the configs for managedocks has proven tricky. I'm...well, completely bewildered by the config file. for reference, here's what I've got, cobbled together from other people's...but it doesn't work. import XMonad import XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks import XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops import XMonad.Hooks.UrgencyHook import XMonad.Actions.CycleWS main = do xmonad $ withUrgencyHook NoUrgencyHook $ defaultConfig { manageHook = manageHook defaultConfig <+> myManageHook , terminal = "konsole" , focusedBorderColor = "blue" , logHook = ewmhDesktopsLogHook , layoutHook = avoidStruts $ layoutHook defaultConfig } where myManageHook = composeAll . concat $ [ [manageDocks] , [ resource =? "Do.exe" --> doIgnore ] ] Asumu Takikawa wrote:

Late response and I guess you've ditched Do, but maybe someone will find it useful. I got Gnome Do working with this snippet in the management hook:

, resource =? "Do" --> doIgnore

It works fine for me. I bound it to mod+d and it pops up and the arrows seem to work. It disappears when I focus on a different window.

Cheers, Asumu Takikawa
