xmonad: a tiling window manager

Re: "wmctrl -l" lists all my windows as being on the same workspace (0)

Hi Tobias,

Unfortunately this did not work for me. I downloaded the source, commented out that bit in
EwmhDesktops.hs, compiled it and replace the EwmhDesktops.hi file found in my system with the compiled
version of the modified file. It didn't change anything.

I am now trying to reinstall 0.9.2 on my system but for some mysterious reason xmonad-contrib fails to
build. :(

Hey Lara,

that's quite easy. Grab the source code from XMonadContrib from:
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/xmonad-contrib/0.10/xmonad-contrib-0.10.tar.gz

Copy the XMonad/Hooks/EwmhDesktops.hs from the archive to ~/.xmonad/lib/XMonad/Hooks/EwmhDesktops.hs
You may now modify your copy and restart/recompile xmonad, e.g. check out what
happens if you comment out the lines concerning the "gnome-panel hack".

Hey Lara,

I tried it here, works great. Make sure XMonad is recompiled after making your
modifications. This should be forced if you `touch ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs` and
restart xmonad afterwards. After successfully recompiling XMonad you should
have the following files in ~/.xmonad/lib/XMonad/Hooks:
EwmhDesktops.hi
EwmhDesktops.hs
EwmhDesktops.o

Besides, I do not think, that 0.9 will work better for this window/desktop
stuff, the function from the EwmhDesktops has not changed since that:
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/xmonad-contrib/0.9/doc/html/src/XMonad-Hooks-EwmhDesktops.html#ewmhDesktopsLogHookCustom
http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/xmonad-contrib/0.10/doc/html/src/XMonad-Hooks-EwmhDesktops.html#ewmhDesktopsLogHookCustom

Hi Tobias,

Again thank you for your help with this. Which lines exactly did you remove? I just removed these three lines:
    

forM_ (W.current s : W.visible s) $ \x ->  forM_ (W.integrate' (W.stack (W.workspace x))) $ \win -> do 
setWindowDesktop win curr

Did you change/remove any more code (eg, the block immediately below)?

thanks!

Hey Lara,

I also only commented those three lines. What I noticed is, that floating
windows are not listed properly, but the "default" tiled windows are.
