Gimp always floats whether I want it to or not
I don't want Gimp to start floating, but it always does. This is my manage hook: myManageHook = composeAll [ className =? "Firefox" --> doShift "www" , className =? "Gimp" --> doShift "lath" , className =? "Wine" --> doShift "lath" , className =? "mailterm" --> doShift "mail" ] As you can see, I do not apply a doFloat to Gimp, so I would have thought that it wouldn't start in floating mode, but it always does. What do I have to do to force it to be tiled?

This is what I use to solve the same problem, but for firefox::
myManageHook = composeAll
[ transience'
, className =? "Gran Paradiso" --> unfloat
, className =? "Firefox" --> unfloat
] <+> manageDocks
where
unfloat = ask >>= doF . W.sink

Are you perhaps using in your defaultConfig the following? , manageHook = myManageHook <+> manageHook defaultConfig The default manageHook floats Gimp and Mplayer iirc. So for us tiled Gimp lovers it's probably nicest to just use `manageHook = myManageHook' and add Mplayer hook to myManageHook if wanted. As apology for the trouble, some bonus gimp tips including example of floating tool windows like levels, etc. : ;-) http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/General_xmonad.hs_config_tips#Gimp -- wmw

Ah! That is it! Thank you. Changed that, and it worked like a charm. 8-)

Interesting. I'm already using IM twice as the first paragraph suggests. I shall have to look at that page more in depth later.
