For some days now I had freezes and problems (e.g. I had to refresh the workspace by switching back and forth to bring the user interface up to date) with Gnome GTK applications like gnome-terminal or nautilus when using xmonad without a loaded gnome-session (plain xmonad). I noticed, that this was due to an old setting in the xmonad configuration file:

myStartupHook = setWMName "LG3D".

I added this settings years ago to get Java applications to work. After several hours of trial and error I removed this line and the glitches and freezes vanished. I thought, that I should comment this here.

That seems a bit bizarre. It might, however, provide a reason for me to test something I've wondered about: setWMName sets the WM_NAME property. What happens if we also set _NET_WM_NAME, correctly (since Java doesn't look at it)? -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
