avoidStruts has to be the outermost modifier, otherwise layoutHintsToCenter could reposition windows over the strut.

I did placed avoidStruts as the first modifier but unfortunately without any effect. Take care. David

Hi,

any advice how to prevent windows to overlap statusbar after xmonad is (re)started ? As far as I know, this is a known issue and a minor one at that. Actually simply switching focus fixes the issue. It would be nice to understand why this happens and find a fix for it, though.

Cheers, Norbert

If it's a known issue, hope someone will finally fix it, although it's a minor "glitch". It looks like avoidStruts layout modifier is applied sooner then status bar is placed on screen. David

I believe the issue is addressed by XMonad.Hooks.ManageDocks.docksEventHook added by this patch (which unfortunately isn't an xmonad-contrib on hackage):

Tue Jul 6 14:58:34 EDT 2010 Tomas Janousek * X.H.ManageDocks: event hook to refresh on new docks

-- Adam

Good point. I've found Tomas Janousek's diff and merged it into my xmonad.hs config: -- Whenever a new dock appears, refresh the layout immediately to avoid the -- new dock. docksEventHook :: Event -> X All docksEventHook (MapNotifyEvent {ev_window = w}) = do whenX ((not `fmap` (isClient w)) <&&> runQuery checkDock w) refresh return (All True) docksEventHook _ = return (All True) -- custom xmonad config myConfig = defaultConfig { ... -- custom event hook to refresh layout if new dock does appear , handleEventHook = docksEventHook ... } Now it does work flawlessly, issue is gone. I still find it rather as a hack than a bugfix but better then nothing :-) Haskell is sweet ... Take care David
