Package: xmonad Version: 0.8.1-3 Severity: important I'm using Gnome + Xmonad as described in the Xmonad wiki page.
I'm using Gnome's panel with applets, one of those applets is the workspace switcher. One of the first think you do with that when you start using Xmonad is telling the applet that you want workspaces to be shown on two rows, because Xmonads uses 9 of them. To do that you right click on the applet and you choose "Properties". At that point, Xmonad start (apparently) switching window positioning endlessly, without reaching a stability point. The workspace is unustable, since you are unable to it any window while they are switching position. The only way out is switching to console mode and kill Xmonad. FWIW, at that point the preference window appears, but restarting Xmonad with it still running re-trigger the problem. That window must be closed before Xmonad can be re-run again reaching a "stable" state. Cheers. PS not sure about the severity of this bug report, it can be worst if there were other windows behaving the same, but for the moment it is the only one I've found doing that. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.29-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xmonad depends on: ii libc6 2.9-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libffi5 3.0.7-1 Foreign Function Interface library ii libgmp3c2 2:4.2.4+dfsg-2 Multiprecision arithmetic library ii libx11-6 2:1.2.1-1 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxinerama1 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Xinerama extension library ii x11-utils 7.4+1 X11 utilities Versions of packages xmonad recommends: ii libghc6-xmonad-dev 0.8.1-3 A lightweight X11 window manager ii libghc6-xmonad-doc 0.8.1-3 A lightweight X11 window manager; xmonad suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
