Have you looked into using the various command-line options to either GNU Emacs or XEmacs to set it to a known value? ie if you always run XEmacs with the '-t XEmacs' option (or whatever it actually is), you now can use ManageHook maybe.

Good idea! After 'man xemacs' I found a command line option '-title' with which you can set the className. $ xemacs -title foo & $ xprop | grep WM_NAME (click on xemacs window) WM_NAME(STRING) = "foo" Now rest the question, how do I use the manageHook to actually let xmonad respect the hints of xemacs. BTW I've found an extension from David Roundy named XMonad.Layout.LayoutHints that also seens to work reasonably. However it still doesn't work when using my: NB.noBorders (T.tabbed T.shrinkText T.defaultTConf { T.tabSize = 15 }) layout :-( regards, Bas
