Subject: [xmonad] ManageDocks issue
Message-ID: <015ae0f4-8e24-1cf6-ffa2-f0a64f0972e7@neophilus.net>

Hi everyone,

I haven't altered my configuration for almost a year now, but recently
my layouts have not been respecting my dzen bar.

I understand that ManageDocks should be handling this, although that's
seemingly no longer the case.

If you take a look at my config:

https://github.com/Libbum/xmonad/blob/master/xmonad.hs

you'll see I have manageDocks here

92 newManageHook = myManageHook <+> manageHook defaultConfig <+> manageDocks

which is incorporated here:

190 main = do
191        dzenLeftBar     <- spawnPipe myXmonadBar
192        dzenRightBar    <- spawnPipe myStatusBar
193        xmonad $ defaultConfig
194                { terminal              = myTerminal
  ...   

201                , manageHook       = newManageHook


Has something changed that I'm overlooking, or is there anything in my
config you can see is causing this? I'm at a loss at how to debug the
problem at the moment.

Regards,

--Tim

Two issues:

1. if you have upgraded xmonad past 0.11, you need more hooks for docks to
work right. Consider switching from manual hook management to
http://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.13/docs/XMonad-Hooks-ManageDocks.html#v:docks
(which will also protect you from future additions/changes).

2. For reasons currently unknown, ManageDocks is ignoring struts on windows
that are not marked as EWMH dock windows. dzen doesn't mark itself as a
dock by default; you must pass the `-dock' parameter to it.

Subject: [xmonad] user-visible windows
Message-ID: <CANEEqrPdq5W1+XpS1w2MgKB9Kq0Ha-eWgYmeh-Qsp7H7XfQZtw@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

I'm writing an extension and would like to know if there's some way to get
a set of all windows  visible to the user?

I'm aware of StackSet.visible and StackSet.current. The windows obtained
from these are not necessarily visible to the user- some may be totally
obscured by others.

I could get a list of the windows in z-order and calculate this myself, but
was wondering whether anything existed that might suit my needs?

Thanks in advance,

Matt

I don't think we ever calculate that, we just apply the layout.
