Oh, I did not know about XMonad.Util.NamedScratchpad. Nice Tip
Brandon.<br>
<br>
I use termite as drop-down terminal together with tdrop. That also
works, like this:<br>

<div id=":pz" class="a3s aXjCH">I use Terminator as my
terminal, but i have configured it so I can use<br>
it 'quake-style': with xfwm4 it appears over my other
windows when I<br>
press <F12> and disappears when pressing
<F12> again.<br>
<br>
To simulate this same behavior in xmonad I configured
Terminator to<br>
always float. This works, but every time I hide and open
the Terminator<br>
window again it moves 1 pixel to the right and bottom.
Initially it is<br>
to the left edge of the screen and just below the
xfce-panel, but after<br>
using it a few times there is a 'gap' between the edge
of the screen and<br>
terminator and between xfce-panel and terminator.<br>
I have no idea what is causing this, any help would be
much appreciated :)<br>

There's several places where xmonad doesn't track the window
border properly with respect to the window (the border is
actually *within* the window and so enlarges it by borderWidth
pixels on each side). Worse, some of the places that do this
unconditionally use the default borderWidth, so you can't even
configure just that window to have no borders to work around
it. I'm still tracking down all the places this happens, but
one known one is hard to fix (it's doing that default
borderWidth thing because nothing else has had a chance to run
yet, and you can't run it afterward because it has to set the
default position/size early for the ManageHook to work. Nasty
chicken-and-egg situation.)<br>
<br clear="all">
<div>However, in this case you may want to use a better
simulation of the quake-like behavior instead:
XMonad.Util.NamedScratchpad. I have a couple of terminals
and various other windows configured as NamedScratchpad
windows and they stay where they're put.</div>
