Sounds like xmonad might have been installed both by your debian package manager and by hand if you have both. Commands to check ghc-pkg list # ghc dpkg --list | grep xmonad # debian -ljr David S. wrote:

Occasionally I will have 2 or more windows on a workspace and fullscreen tiling and when I switch focus, the red border on the visible window goes away, but it does not switch to the other window.

My only recourse then is to move the windows to other workspaces to see them all. To get the workspace to behave correctly I have to delete them all or move them all.

I am running Ubuntu Hardy and aptitude shows that I have xmonad 0.6-3 installed, though $ xmonad --version shows 0.5, which I find disconcerting.

I have to say, I enjoy xmonad so much I am willing to put up with this inconvenient behavior...but it would be nice to fix it.

Thanks for any help. Peace, David S _______________________________________________ xmonad mailing list xmonad@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/xmonad

This may sound silly, but have you accidentally floated your front window? It can be easy to do if you hold down the xmonad meta-key and click in the window. It wouldn't be immediately obvious but you'd never get your other windows back. Try meta-t to tile them again (for whatever meta key you have bound; I think the default is alt?).
