Yeah, sorry about that, I tried to ctrl-C, but darcs already sent the two. Anyway, the main reason for the shift change is that it makes a lot more sense for a multi-screen user. Shifting the window back is easy as hitting the other window key. Currently, to undo a shift to another xinerama screen, you have to switch to the screen, shift the window back, and switch back to the original screen. The current behavior with inside-workspace shifts is that the focus follows the window. This makes sense, yet it doesn't seem to apply to screen or workspace shifts. Maintaining focus on all workspace shifts is a bit of a bigger change (from the user perspective, the code change is just removal of a function). To tell you the truth, I don't think that treating each screen as a workspace container is really the best metaphor for multiscreen users, but that's an issue for another day. Probably it doesn't matter too much. Thanks, Michael Sloan On 7/24/07, Spencer Janssen wrote:

Applied this one, thanks.

I'd rather not change this behavior. In the future, can you send these UI changes in separate patch bundles? You might also note why you think the UI change is an improvement. We've been burned by Config.hs changes in the past, so I've become very skeptical whenever I see a patch modifying it :).
