This looks like a very useful layout! Unfortunately for me it causes
xmonad to crash when switching to a blank workspace. This happens just
by adding this layout to my config; I don't even seem to have to switch
to it.

I find this particularly confusing since my small understanding of the
xmonad code gave the impression that layouts aren't even invoked for
blank workspaces.

Anyone have any ideas?

Cheers

I didn't try and I read it very quickly. My idea is that:
Nothing -> error ""
is wrong and should be replaced by a:
Nothing -> return Nothing

As I said I didn't test it.

Hope this helps.

Issue 49 in xmonad: XMonad sometimes stops responding to alt key

Issue 49: XMonad sometimes stops responding to alt key
http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=49

Comment #2 by david.maciver:
Yet more updates: It happens even with alt-q rebound elsewhere, so it's not
restarting xmonad that causes the issue.

You are welcome!

Many thanks for sharing your code: this is the first module using the
new class API!

MATLAB and Xmonad

Hi guys,

I switched to Xmonad recently, after looking into wmii and dwm, and I am 
quite happy with it :)

However, I tried starting up MATLAB today and it displays a huge gray 
screen.  I thought it crashed during startup but when I clicked on where 
the menu bar should be, the menus actually open and are displayed 
properly.  But everything else just doesn't draw in the MATLAB window. 
Does anybody has an idea what the problem might be (and/or give me hints 
how to provide some more useful information)?

It looks like it's a problem with Xmonad.  I fired up an Xnest with fvwm 
and MATLAB works fine there.  And Xnest with wmii and MATLAB works as well.

Thanks in advance,
   Christian

Is the MATLAB gui written in Java?  There is a known bug in the Java
windowing code which prevents it from working correctly with
non-reparenting window managers like xmonad.  Fortunately, there is a
workaround in the Java code which makes things work again, as long as
the current window manager it Compiz or Looking Glass 3D.  One of the
contrib modules (XMonadContrib.SetWMName) fiddles the X-property
settings so that xmonad pretends to be LG3d; the author claims that this
makes Java programs work correctly.
