Comment #4 on issue 250 by kaeso.box: skype video window is missing buttons. http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=250 I'm experiencing the exact same problem. I'm not sure who is at fault here, but skype can be really fixed by us, so I'd like to see if possible a workaround in xmonad. This is what xprop says about that video-chat window: _NET_WM_ICON_GEOMETRY(CARDINAL) = 34, 744, 183, 24 _NET_WM_DESKTOP(CARDINAL) = 1 XKLAVIER_STATE(INTEGER) = 0, 0 WM_STATE(WM_STATE): window state: Normal icon window: 0x0 _NET_WM_USER_TIME(CARDINAL) = 1009914662 _NET_WM_ICON(CARDINAL) = Icon (48 x 48): [...Big icon removed here...] XdndAware(ATOM) = BITMAP _MOTIF_DRAG_RECEIVER_INFO(_MOTIF_DRAG_RECEIVER_INFO) = 0x6c, 0x0, 0x5, 0xf6, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x10, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0 _NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = 0x31, 0x36, 0x3a, 0x34, 0x38, 0x20, 0x7c, 0x20, 0x43, 0x6f, 0x6e, 0x76, 0x65, 0x72, 0x73, 0x61, 0x7a, 0x69, 0x6f, 0x6e, 0x65, 0x20, 0x63, 0x6f, 0x6e, 0x20, 0x6c, 0x61, 0x5f, 0x69, 0x61, 0x70, 0x69 WM_CLIENT_LEADER(WINDOW): window id # 0x3200004 WM_WINDOW_ROLE(STRING) = "CallWindowForm" _NET_WM_PID(CARDINAL) = 25205 _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE(ATOM) = _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_NORMAL _MOTIF_WM_HINTS(_MOTIF_WM_HINTS) = 0x3, 0x3c, 0x7a, 0x0, 0x0 WM_PROTOCOLS(ATOM): protocols WM_DELETE_WINDOW, WM_TAKE_FOCUS, _NET_WM_PING WM_NAME(STRING) = "16:48 | Conversazione con echo-it" WM_LOCALE_NAME(STRING) = "it_IT.UTF-8" WM_CLASS(STRING) = "skype", "Skype" WM_HINTS(WM_HINTS): Client accepts input or input focus: True Initial state is Normal State. bitmap id # to use for icon: 0x320000c window id # of group leader: 0x3200004 WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS): user specified size: 294 by 253 program specified size: 294 by 253 program specified minimum size: 344 by 325 program specified maximum size: 344 by 325 window gravity: NorthWest WM_CLIENT_MACHINE(STRING) = "myhost" WM_COMMAND(STRING) = { "skype" } Is something wrong here? May I attach something more detailed (what)?
