[Xmonad] Re: Emailing: A taste of Haskell.pdf

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

But surely xnest should tell xmonad how big the window is, so that xmonad knows how to behave?  If I resize xnest's window, it should tell xmonad, which should adjust.

Still, I'll certainly try the -geometry thing, thanks

| Xnest defaults to an 800x600 screen.  Perhaps SPJ's monitor is that big,
