We're planning to release 0.4 over this weekend. In preparation for the release xmonad, XMonadContrib and X11-extras are under a feature freeze. Feel free to send bug fix and documentation patches, but please keep new feature patches to yourself until after the release. If there are any important issues that should be addressed before 0.4, now is the time to speak up! Cheers, Spencer Janssen

What about the problem related to the position of a float window in full screen? Something to test would be + mplayer -fs + xpdf -fullscreen + acroread (and C-l into full screen mode) + ... I feel odd, because whether I use the `adjust' or not, they appear in the same position. But I believe `adjust' should put them in the centre. Xiao-Yong -- c/* __o/* <\ * (__ */\ <

Yes, there is something funky here, but I think we'll push it to post 0.4. I can't even quite articulate the issue yet, let alone fix it :). Cheers, Spencer Janssen

Is there a bug ticket for this?

I'm not sure if it indeed is a bug, or is just a failure of understanding xmonad. Could someone verify this? I think that the use of `adjust' in line 63 of file Operations.hs should put any floating window in the center of a screen if it is larger than the size of the screen. But it's not doing that right now. There is also a strange behaviour of executing mplayer -fs it actually results in three different positioning of the mplayer window. 1. Perfect. No boarders appear. 2. Off 1 pixel. Top and left window boarders appear. 3. Disappeared. You just can't see the window. I don't know how to debug it, yet. Not sure if it's just a mplayer bug or xmonad's. Xiao-Yong -- c/* __o/* <\ * (__ */\ <

I should add my observation of "xpdf -fullscreen". "xpdf" has its dirty hacked "fullscreen" mode, in which it adjusts the size of the displaying area to be the same size as your screen, and it requests to be displayed in such a way that its borders and control buttons are all off-screen, so you don't see it. I think this behaviour satisfies the condition of that `adjust' function, since x + wid > 1 || y + h > 1 so the window will be put in the center according to W.RationalRect (0.5 - wid/2) (0.5 - h/2) wid h but it doesn't happens. Where am I wrong about this? Xiao-Yong -- c/* __o/* <\ * (__ */\ <

I also experience this occasionally. Typing f (toggle fullscreen) shows the window, another f fullscreens it correctly. -- Feri.
