Can avoidStruts stop working?

Does anybody else run XMonad on Arch Linux AMD64 (non-testing)? Since about a week (and a half) ago something seems to have caused avoidStruts to be ignored, because xmobar is covered by any window I open. I've tried unsuccessfully with my full config and the recently suggested new sample config here on the list[1]. Any idea what's happening? It's possibly an operator issue, but I don't know how to debug it. [1] https://mail.haskell.org/pipermail/xmonad/2015-December/014977.html

I have a similar issue but when i startup xmonad for the first time. All i do is reset the layout on all visible workspaces (mod-shift-space). Havent figured how to fix it. Using dzen as my status bars. On Wed, Mar 2, 2016 at 7:49 AM, Tuncer Ayaz wrote:

Same issue here. After I reset the layout it's working fine. I'm using xmobar. Le mercredi 02 mars 2016 à 09:25:39 (-0500), Dave Macias a écrit :

If you're running xmonad 0.12, you might want to either downgrade to 0.11 or remove your current xmonad + xmonad-contrib and reinstall both from git master. 0.12 introduced strut caching, but had a bug that caused it to cache the nonexistence of struts at startup time and not notice them being added later when the dock is (un)managed. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net

I was using xmonad and xmonad-contrib master with xmobar stable from hackage. I had rebuilt before, but I'll try again. Where exactly is the caching store and can it be invalidated? Ideally a cache shall not need manual management.

dzen failed the same way as xmobar here, so I think it's a general problem.

Thanks, Bogdan, that fixes it. I'll post an updated sample config. It was sufficient to add just docksEventHook. Feel free to critique the new sample config.

Thanks for info. I already have docksEventHook. `setLayout =<< asks ....` works since im able to go back to my default layout but it does not respect the dzen bar.

Thank you Bogdan for the reply. I did as suggested. I tried different versions: `setLayout $ XMonad.layoutHook conf` -- original code. works fine under Haskell xmonad 0.12. with GIT xmonad docks are not longer respected. `setLayout $ XMonad.layoutHook conf >> docksStartupHook` -- failed on xmonad restart `(setLayout $ XMonad.layoutHook conf) >> docksStartupHook` -- passes xmonad restart but setLayout to default does not work, neither respect for docks `(setLayout =<< asks (XMonad.layoutHook . config)) >> docksStartupHook` -- passes restart. setLayout works. but still no respect for docks. I feel like im very close. Could it be that my `manageDocks` or `docksEventHook e` are not properly configured? Thank you again for assistance.

Are you speaking about action on some hotkey instead of `setLayout =<< asks (layoutHook . config)` or something else? If first then I dunno what's wrong, can you give the whole config? On Thursday, March 3, 2016 8:36:10 AM MSK you wrote:

Yes, it's an action on a hotkey. (mod+shift+space) which resets layout on workspace. See http://web.mit.edu/nelhage/Public/xmonad.hs Under haskell xmonad, i had to (mod-shift-space) in order for the docks to be respected, since it was never respected upon xmonad restart. Under Git xmonad, docks are still not respected upon xmonad restart but my previous solution (mod-shift-space) for displaying the dock, no longer works.

Add `docksStartupHook` to both your action on mod-shift-space and your startup hook(because you restore initial layout state before restart). On Thursday, March 3, 2016 9:29:38 AM MSK you wrote:

I tried adding `dockStartupHook` to `myStartupHook` but no change. so i moved it to `main` with still no change. So then i tried both location but nothing different, avoidStruts not working. how it currently looks in my xmonad.hs file: [code] (....... (setLayout =<< asks (XMonad.layoutHook . config)) >> docksStartupHook) ....... myStartupHook = do docksStartupHook ...... ..... main = do .... , startupHook = composeAll [ myStartupHook , docksStartupHook .....

Same xmonad.hs code but w/o docksStartupHook under xmonad 0.12 from haskell, still allows me to reset the layout but also respects docs (avoidstruts) if and only if I reset the layout (mod-shift-space) on all "visible" workspaces after an xmonad start/restart. "Non-visible" workspaces seem to work fine, avoidstruts works when spawning a window client; as does reset layout. My understanding is that GIT is now the "darcs" version of xmonad (aka development version). That being the case, I can live for now under haskell xmonad with the annoyance of (mod-shift-space) upon xmonad start/restart. It's no biggy. I'll deal with it once GIT gets pushed to haskell (unless we abandoning haskell). Hope all this makes sense. Thanks again for assistance, -Dave On Fri, Mar 4, 2016 at 6:08 AM, Bogdan Sinitsyn wrote:

Thank you for the pointer. Ill test without it and report soon. As far as clearer explanation, this is the order of operations as they happen: 1. Login into computer or restart xmonad (mod-q) 2. Xmonad starts but docks is not respected on all visible workspaces 3. Use my current solution (mod+shift+space) 4. Docks begin to be respected. 5. Move on with life Hope this is better.

My understanding is that GIT is now the "darcs" version of xmonad (aka development version).

Bogdan I tested your theory about X.L.PerWorkspace bug. I completely commented that module out and used one layout for all my WS. Here is the lines of code i changed: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/davama/c380cb816a0b578f94ae/raw/da796fef7... The above change was tested with haskel xmonad 0.12 and with GIT xmonad. Interestingly with GIT xmonad, my avoidstruts breaks entirely for all WS. Here is a screenshot of how the window clients look on my two visible workspaces upon login (using haskell xmonad): http://i.imgur.com/g8HW35g.png This screen shot is taken after i do mod-shift-space per each visible WS: http://i.imgur.com/wBOO4qT.png Please let me know if i can test something else.

Thanks for testing and reminding. Now I'm a bit more sure that it's X.L.PerWorkspace bug. But I don't know how to fix existing code except some ugly workarounds. I'll think about it when I have more time. On Wednesday, March 9, 2016 8:30:51 AM MSK you wrote:
