Hi all,
I'm running sid with a nvidia xinerama configuration with 2 displays.

Is it possible to modify the start icon for eg. icedove
so that this
apps starts maximized on the right display only
and with the "show on every desktop" feature enabled ?


Thanks for any hints,
Bruno

This is the business of your window manager. If you're running metacity... well,
you're probably out of luck (but that may have changed, I haven't used it in a
while).

I'm running XMonad and that's all this is pretty easy, just one line in the
config. But as this is really very specific to your WM I'm afraid there's no way
of handling all this in a generic way.

Hey Aleks, I'm using xmonad too and loving it. I'm just curious, are
you running debian packaged 0.4 or are you running upstream (0.6?). I
ran upstream versions until it got packaged and then switched to the
debian version. But now I'm getting frustrated watching them push out more
versions that aren't in debian yet...

Hey Andrew,

I'm using upstream - the newer versions have certain features I really can't
miss (especially extensions). I'm quite disappointed about the Debian policy on
some packages (even in sid), but that's no deal-breaker for me, since I'm
used to compiling XMonad from source anyways. As I'm a Haskell apprentice Ialso
like to tinker with the code every now and then, so it's better for me to use
the darcs version anyways.

Btw. is there any way to speed that process (in Debian) up? Like me making a
.deb for the current version and proposing that? (sorry, I'm (again) rather new
to Debian - started out with Sarge, but have made some excursions to Gentooand
other (non-)distros in the past)

Well, the bug's "resolution" is Joachim (the maintainer of x11) stating x11is
deprecated as of xmonad 0.5. 0.6 however, still depends on x11. Meh. Hm, I'll
try to look into that issue this weekend.

I thought Joachim had put up debs on his server. Are they not there
anymore?

I'm in no hurry for the next version I guess as I'm too busy to mess
around with tweaking it at the moment anyway.
