[dev] floating windows on background in tiled/monocle mode

[Lorenzo Bolla]

Hi all,

if on Tiled or Monocle mode, if I choose a window and put it in Floating
mode (with Mod1+Shift+Space, for example, or by resizing it), the windows
goes in the background and it's covered by the other Tiled windows.
Floating windows used to sit above any other Tiled/Monocled windows: has
this behavior changed or am I misconfigured somehow?

Thanks,
L.

What I'll never get about eBooks is that they can store ~3000 books and
surely more in the future.
3000 books / (1 book/week) = 57 years.
Most of us will already be dead by then... or the eReader itself will be...

Screen is something more than a "textual" window manager, and surely not the

Re: [dev] terminal that accepts any size

[Lorenzo Bolla]

To be honest, I did indeed try sam and acme, but I went back to vim.

I don't want to start another boring flame war: vim is just more convenient
for me and it comes to a set of pre-implemented features that I like (and
don't want to implement myself for sam or acme).

As the saying about "democracy" in politics, "vim is not perfect, but I
haven't found anything better, yet".

"Screen" is another utility I wasn't able to use with 9term, maybe more
useful than vim ;-)

Re: [dev] terminal that accepts any size

I gave 9term a quick try, but I couldn't get neither vim nor less work
properly with it (they both complain about 9term being an "unknown"
terminal).

Is any of you guys using 9term with either vim or less?

Thanks!

open your browser to youtube; then use xprop to get WM_CLASS and WM_NAME for
that window:
$> xprop | grep -e "WM_CLASS(STRING)" -e "WM_NAME(STRING)"

in config.h put:
{ ,  NULL,  ,   0,  True,  -1 },

[dev] [surf] segmentation fault

[Lorenzo Bolla]

Hi all,

I've tried to compile the latest surf version with libwebkit-1.1.15.3-1 and
gtk-1.2.10-9.
Compilation went fine, but running surf from the command line gets me a
"Segmentation fault".
Any hints?
I'm running Arch Linux 2.6.31-ARCH

Re: [dev][surf] browser identification changed?

Alright, I'll answer myself.
surf.c sets "user-agent" to "surf" that is evidently not recognized by those
websites.

I wonder why those websites use these dirty tricks...

with the latest pull, surf is identified as the awfully old:Netscape

whereas, before it, it was identified as:

[dev] surf and dwm's tiled layout

[Lorenzo Bolla]

Hi all,
when using surf with dwm's tiled layout, if surf is in the client's stack it
overlaps all the clients below it (i.e. if it is the first client it
overlaps all the clients in the stack, if it the second it leaves the first
visible but overlaps the others and so on).
is there a way to fix it?

thanks,
Lorenzo.
