How does the MosaicAlt layout work?

Hi,

I am looking at the mosaic layout and I get a rough Idea of what the
keybindings do ... but only a rough idea.

What exactly does the tall and wide window do?
How exactly does the expanding work?

Is this described anywhere more precise?

Thanks!

Only floating windows with window decoration

Hi,

Can I somehow configure xmonad, so that only floating windows have
window decoaration? By this I mean a titlebar, which can be used to drag
them around ...

Thanks!

Decoarion floating layouts and resizing

Hi,

When I set whant of the DeocarationMadness floating Layouts and resize a
window, the titlebar disappears. Can this be fixed?

Thanks!

Issue 177 in xmonad: xmonad does not follow ICCCM and ignores WM_TAKE_FOCUS protocol


Comment #13 on issue 177 by f.luithle: xmonad does not follow ICCCM and  
ignores WM_TAKE_FOCUS protocol
http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=177

Why is this not accepted over a year later?  This defect renders Netbeans,  
for
example, rather unusuable under XMonad, especially if you want to use the  
jVi plugin
with it.

This should have high priority to get into the next release.

Re: [patch] WorkspaceByPos

I've applied the original patch., and my translation to use ErrorT.

It seems to work as the original.

Thanks,

I'd take a look at XMonadContrib/XMonad/Layout/SimpleFloat.hs

It probably has some kind of performance impact, as input windows have
to be created, I agree.

There is another subtle difference in the way 'slave' windows are
handled: When you have one master window and three slave windows open in
ResizableTile, the slave windows will get about 1/3 of the height each.
The way those sizes are calculated is somewhat tricky though, because
you can resize all those slave windows individually. Modifying one slave
window will usually also affect all the others.

I found that to be to hard to work with when I wanted to implement the
option to change the boundaries with the mouse. So in MouseResizableTile
