[xmonad] xmonad Digest, Vol 154, Issue 1

[Ramon Diaz-Uriarte]

I tried it and it works perfectly, thanks!! I get the hidden windows to
be shown in, for instance rofi.

A minor issue, though: when I minimize a window, focus is lost. This does
not happen with Hidden (when a window is hidden, another gains focus). I've
searched around, but I cannot find anything regarding this issue.


Best,

R.
