Hi folks,

I seem to remember that some of you xmonad users are also running arch linux, which is my newest distro of choice. Has anyone here run into the problem that xterm ignores the bellIsUrgent flag? No matter what I do, all I hear is a beep, but the urgency hint is not set for the window.

Never mind. A classical case of user error. In porting my xmonad.hs from one of my machines to the other, I forgot the "withUrgencyHook ..." required to record urgency hint changes. Put that in, and everything works. Cheers, Norbert
